The agency's highly structured, tightly supervised programs help participants regain the skills and confidence needed for a successful transition to a stable, productive life. false false 7664030 Transitional Work Program - Immediate Work for Immediate PayThrough its transitional work program, CEO provides immediate, time-limited, paid employment for people with recent criminal convictions. CEO places almost no restrictions on enrollment in its program, which begins with a five-day, customized Life Skills Education course that prepares individuals for re-entry into the workforce. Because most participants either have never held a full-time job or have been disconnected from the job market for an extended period of time, CEO staff uses these interactive classroom sessions to reinforce basic workplace skills such as punctuality, good personal presentation, and cooperation with supervisors and co-workers. Participants practice filling out job applications and learn how best to address questions about their convictions in interviews. CEO staff also helps them procure all necessary identification documents, removing a frequent barrier that prevents re-entrants from legally stepping onto a job site and receiving a paycheck.After graduating from Life Skills, participants move immediately into jobs on CEO work crews, where they perform maintenance, repair, grounds keeping, and comparable services for institutional clients. Clients' payment for this work supports CEO's operations and enables the agency to make 250 work slots available to participants every day. On the worksite, participants, closely guided by CEO site supervisors, learn the behaviors employers say they value most: showing up on time, taking directions from a supervisor, working hard, being good co-workers, and using good communication skills. Participants are paid state minimum wage each work day and stay on transitional jobs for an average of two months before being placed in full time jobs. In FY 2012, CEO provided transitional employment for over 2,600 formerly incarcerated individuals in New York City; four Upstate New York jurisdictions: Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo; Tulsa, Oklahoma and San Diego, California. CEO also assisted third party providers in implementing its transitional work, as well as its vocational model, in Oakland, CA. 6756042 Job Placement and Retention - Getting and Keeping a Place in the Permanent WorkforceCEO places participants in full-time employment by working with hundreds of employers to fill their hiring needs. Since becoming an independent nonprofit organization in 1996, CEO has created thousands of transitional job opportunities that have led to over 15,000 full-time job placements for formerly incarcerated individuals. In FY 2012, CEO employment services resulted in 1,650 full-time job placements in industries as diverse as food service, retail/wholesale, manufacturing, human services, construction, maintenance, and warehousing. To ensure participants remain in the workforce once they are employed, CEO job retention specialists provide workplace counseling, crisis management, job re-development in the event of job loss, and long-term career planning for one full year after placement. Additionally, an incentive-based job retention program, Rapid Rewards, provides monthly payments to all participants who sign up for the program and attain specified employment milestones. In FY 2012, 55 percent of participants placed in full-time jobs were still working after 180 days, and 44 percent were working after 365 days. CEO uses the most rigorous verification methods to determine job retention - paystubs, criminal justice official sign off, or independent verification with employers. CEO does not accept self reported information for job placement or job retention. CEO Continues Expansion Outside New York City, Opening Offices in California and Oklahoma - CEO has continued to strengthen and expand replication efforts in jurisdictions in Upstate New York and opened new offices in Oklahoma and California, for a total of seven offices outside New York CityIn FY 2012, CEO was the recipient of two Social Innovation Fund awards. Administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the Social Innovation Fund is a new federal program that addresses major challenges confronting communities by growing high-impact nonprofit organizations delivering proven solutions. It brings together millions in public-private funds to expand effective community solutions across three issue areas: economic opportunity, healthy futures, and youth development and Schools support. The Social Innovation Fund competitively awarded funds to intermediary grantmakers that, in turn, made competitive awards to organizations throughout the country. CEO won competitive awards through the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and REDF. These awards have allowed CEO to continue its expansion in jurisdictions in upstate New York and launch offices in two additional states - Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oakland and San Diego, California. In FY 2012, CEO enrolled over 1,000 individuals in offices outside New York City. 731228 To aid participants' work preparedness, CEO offers short-term, pre-placement trainings, as well as career ladder training through the CEO Training Academy, established in 2008. Short-term trainings include a five-day warehouse training that leads to forklift certification; and a 10-hour OSHA training that leads to OSHA certification, a credential increasingly required on construction and materials-handling sites. In FY 2012, CEO trained 288 people in these skills. CEO's longer term, career ladder training functions as a partnership between CEO and community colleges to offer training that leads to certification in the skilled trades. Two cohorts of students enroll each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. In FY 2012, 113 people enrolled at the Academy. 15151300 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false 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 true 14 0 true 230 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false OK NY CA X X Brad Dudding 2124224430 32 Broadway 15th Floor New York NY 10004 Stanley Brezenoff 0.50 X 0 0 0 O Peter Sherwood 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan D Miller 0.50 X 0 0 0 Andrew Van Der Vord 0.50 X 0 0 0 Joel D Hornstein 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Balfour 0.50 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Jo Mannes 0.50 X 0 0 0 Steven Fishner 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Emary Aronson 0.50 X 0 0 0 David I Moskovitz 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Cristine Soto DeBerry 0.50 X 0 0 0 William Snipes 0.50 X 0 0 0 Mindy S Tarlow 60.00 X 196053 0 19468 Bradley L Dudding 60.00 X 133469 0 17598 Marta Nelson 60.00 X 122679 0 6322 Tim Williams 60.00 X 105003 0 15837 Tani Mills 60.00 X 130098 0 9928 Loy Mulyagonja 60.00 X 114879 0 12928 Sam Schaffer 60.00 X 117650 0 5887 919831 87968 10 false true false 0 13319859 4701316 18021175 0 1344 1344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 81295 81295 81295 18103814 82639 0 0 0 0 375035 42205 223778 109052 0 10822378 9409124 1210433 202821 119558 108477 10510 571 1398965 1254860 134740 9365 844342 725136 99154 20052 0 0 0 0 0 0 60184 60184 0 283601 147625 134259 1717 0 0 1155911 880729 251293 23889 470218 441225 28993 0 13901 5699 8202 55285 55285 0 132255 120650 11605 418683 385382 28535 4766 Telephone 227766 190674 34686 2406 Consultants 292184 105823 173361 13000 Participant incentives 457859 457859 Equipment purchases and rental 539079 472363 63501 3215 552932 403469 146835 2628 18220136 15151300 2675354 393482 340614 1176386 989 989 5563896 5824331 0 0 0 0 0 118717 272909 1390339 1175757 277873 214582 0 0 0 0 217436 256285 6519525 7745482 936839 1160922 3065131 3585045 401718 1000000 4403688 5745967 X 1689227 424181 426610 1575334 2115837 1999515 6519525 7745482 -116322 X false true true X true true X 13319173 13938916 16299118 18942031 18021175 80520413 0 0 13319173 13938916 16299118 18942031 18021175 80520413 8730504 71789909 2838 1066 109 1344 5357 0 12004 34555 34205 53775 81295 215834 80741604 0.88910 0.88830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false Marta Nelson 32 Broadway 15th Floor New York NY 10004 Mindy Tarlow 32 Broadway 15th Floor New York NY 10004 21374 21374 18198762 18220136 1000000 250000 false 836506 950005 1000000 1000000 3786511 5679767 17314 8482 15349 21374 62519 209127 237501 250000 250000 946628 1419942 161098 149397 11701 996136 836940 159196 233105 189420 43685 214582 18103814 18220136 -116322 -116322 18103814 18103814 18103814 18220136 18220136 18220136 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote CEO has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
