Boys' Art Express - In the Winter of 2013, we expanded our Boys' Arts Express after-school program from a single pilot serving 14 boys at the Earth School, a progressive public elementary school in the East Village, to offering the program two days a week at the school, with 42 boys in Kindergarten to 5th grade participating in the three-hour program. We also implemented the program at Grace Church School, an independent school in Manhattan, where 11 boys from Junior-K through 2nd grade participated. In the Fall of 2013, we have made Boys' Arts Express available three days a week, with the option for boys to participate from one to three days. Forty-five boys, from pre-K to 6th grade participated. (The group included four recent Earth School alums who wanted to continue in the program.) By making the program available on multiple days each week, we increased the number of program hours for boys at the Earth School by 80%. (27% of boys participated three days a week; and 18% two days a week.) At Grace Church School, we worked with a group of 12 boys from Junior-K through 3rd grade, half of them returning students. 0 33603 General Program - Grace Church School asked us to conduct monthly gender groups with the 9th grade boys in their newly established high school. We worked with the group of 28 boys and 6 male faculty to help them build a positive, supportive community and to engage in thinking about what it means to them personally to be young men. We also conducted two staff-development workshops at the Earth School, a parenting workshop at the East Village Community School, and made presentations to parent associations at the Earth School and Grace Church School. We organized a presentation by Dr. Adam Cox on the social and emotional development of boys. The event, hosted by Grace Church School in September 2013, attracted an audience of approximately 200 parents and educators in New York City. We engaged Critical Issues for Youth, a curriculum-development consulting firm, to support our work of refining our program framework and training protocols. 0 15873 Children's Art Express - The Earth School invited us to be a partner on a small grant from the NYC Department of Education to bring our program approach to their pre-K and Kindergarten students during the school day. We worked with 72 boys and girls once a week for ten weeks, using creativity activities to build social and emotional skills and awareness of gender stereotypes. The response from the kids was very positive, and the teachers confirmed that the program made a real impact on how the children interacted with each other. 0 3646 53122 Glynna Christian Chair 2 0 0 0 Jim Gaines Co-Chair and Founder 1 0 0 0 Alexander Kopelman President, CEO and Co-Founder 25 36000 0 0 Paul Bolles-Beaven Secretary 2 0 0 0 Tara Mia Paone Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Mark LaRiviere Director and Co-Founder 10 0 0 0 Dr Adam Cox Director 1 0 0 0 Joyce M Roche Director 1 0 0 0 Ted Russell Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Easy Office Inc - dba Jitasa 1750 W Front Street Suite 200 Boise ID 83702 2082874777 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 68000 134282 202282 0 0 0 68000 134282 202282 152856 49426 120 120 202402 27871 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Description;Amount^Miscellaneous revenue;51^Total;51^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Travel and meetings;3221|Office supplies and expense;2054|Program supplies;1585|Other expenses;3245^Total;10105^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts receivable;105000|Prepaid expenses;599^Total;105599^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts payable;469|Accrued liabilities;4741^Total;5210^
