Youth are encouraged to express themselves through writing and other pro-social activities rather than through violence. The Writing Program offers: Weekly and bi-weekly creative writing classes led by volunteer teachers; Annual Writers' Retreats for all IOW students at each facility to come together as writers to celebrate their accomplishments; Quarterly anthology, which is a compilation of writings from both Writing and Alumni program participants. 234136 ALUMNI PROGRAMRecognizing the critical need for comprehensive reentry programs, IOW launched the Alumni Program in 2010, to provide a continuum of care for Writing Program students to support their transition back into our communities. The goal of the Alumni Program is to reduce participants likelihood of reoffending and to increase their skills and capacity to become self-sustaining, productive members of our communities. Once released, these young people are deemed to have graduated from the Writing Program and are called alumni moving forward. The Alumni Program is comprised of six interconnected components: 1) transitional case management; 2) life skills workshops; 3) mentoring; 4) writing classes; 5) community engagement activities; and 6) cultural events and field trips. In the last fiscal year, 85 alumni, between the ages of 16 and 26, were actively involved in programming, with 53 receiving intensive case management support. 522601 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 false 9 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false true true false false CA X X Wendelyn Killian 3236601866 1212 N Vermont Ave - 2nd Floor Los Angeles CA 90029 Prophet Walker 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Nugent 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Robinson 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Daly 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Chodroff 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zev Borow 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy Firestone 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Brandolino 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Leuchtenburg 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Rubenstein 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dellene Arthur 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ian Graham 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Mandelbaum 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bernard R Cahill II 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wendelyn Killian 50.00 0.00 X 90000 0 0 90000 0 false false false 0 609909 609909 0 5506 5506 0 0 0 0 49882 15885 33997 0 0 0 649412 5506 125 125 0 0 0 90000 82800 3600 3600 0 218243 199784 8401 10058 0 0 70841 64944 2758 3139 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4670 4411 121 138 12631 11930 328 373 Office Expense 17161 15733 668 760 Professional Services 35521 3243 23511 8767 Teacher Stipends 39359 39359 Occupancy - Rent/Maint 56891 53733 1477 1681 59183 46539 11913 731 604625 522601 52777 29247 55091 15178 0 136000 0 0 0 15999 31138 0 0 37106 35295 8291 1811 169507 95459 0 0 19149 8479 4599 257367 303334 13057 4913 9677 13057 14590 X 208171 137744 36139 151000 244310 288744 257367 303334 44787 -353 X false true X true false X 81962 760445 325726 558118 643906 2370157 0 0 81962 760445 325726 558118 643906 2370157 0 2370157 4524 2931 11490 8799 5506 33250 0 0 2403407 0.98620 0.98160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 37106 35295 1811 1811 Employee Benefits Payable 9677 9677 649412 649412 649412 604625 604625 604625 X X X X X X false Beach Party 25287 25287 5475 Crawfish Boil 24595 24595 10410 49882 49882 15885 15885 33997 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available IRS Form 1023 and Form 990 will be available for public inspection without charge as required by law.
