Of the same students, only 20% passed all aspects of the TAKS test, a requirement for graduation. A long history of neglect, a struggling public school system, a lack of community support and parental involvement and inadquate resources create an environment where learning and achieving are almost impossible. Mercy Street reaches into the public schools with a goal of reaching every child with a mentor. Mercy Street's mentoring programs are focused on instilling hope through encouraging, supportive long term relationships. During the tax year ending September 30, 2012, 400 mentors, from the Dallas area, provided systematic and regular mentoring and tutoring support throughout the school year. A total of over 30,840 man hours was provided by these mentors during the year ended September 30, 2012. In addition several hundred other volunteers have assisted on a part time basis in the programs of the Ministry.Three specific school programs are invloved, Elementary for elementary age students, Middle School for middle school students and High School for high school students. As explained in Line 4a, the purpose of Mercy Street is to reach out to children through a mentoring program to help them reach a fuller potential than might be possible without an education. In line with the effort to teach the youth to be the future leaders of their community, Mercy Street has organized Little League baseball teams and youth soccer teams to teach team work and fair play. During the tax year ending September 30,2012, 85 adults volunteered as coaches in the Little League and soccer leagues providing approximately 4,080 hours of volunteer time. The Mercy Street fielded 21 Little League teams with an average of 13 youths on each team. An average of 10 youths participated on each of 18 soccer teams during the same time period. A program was initiated during the year ended June 30, 2009 that involves the teaching of vocational skills to young people who may not wish or are not able to continue with their education. Skills are taught in the area of landscaping, bicycle repair and similar types of vocational training. This program continued in earnest during the year ended September 30, 2010. During the later part of the year ended September 30, 2011, the Ministry determined that this area of Program Service was not fulfilling its established objective. The program has cut back operations and did not operate at full capacity during the year ended September 30, 2012. 1096365 true false false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 21 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 7 5 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true false false false false X Trey Hill 2149051042 3801 Holystone Street Dallas TX 75212 Matt Van Beeber 1.00 0 0 0 Scott Aston 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stacy Burke 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Dobrient 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nate Eubanks 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Farrell 40.00 X 68850 0 0 William T Hill III 40.00 X 91880 0 0 160730 0 false false false 0 1324354 1324354 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1324354 0 0 0 0 160730 22970 45940 91820 0 651591 520515 86889 44187 0 119640 84276 24414 10950 63599 43044 10049 10506 0 0 5900 2950 2950 0 0 0 1003 1003 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40077 35468 4528 81 14353 8612 2871 2870 Utilities 33774 23642 5066 5066 Administration costs 53111 39844 4620 8647 Maintenance 89672 76294 6689 6689 Program costs 180970 180970 105797 60730 13926 31141 1520217 1096365 208945 214907 334085 154297 0 0 9423 9473 0 0 0 0 14517 24940 837664 218079 615202 619585 0 0 0 0 0 973227 808295 91967 122898 91967 122898 X 880820 684957 440 440 881260 685397 973227 808295 -195863 X false true true X false false X 1072275 1076008 419383 1268627 1681198 5517491 0 0 0 0 1072275 1076008 419383 1268627 1681198 5517491 0 0 5517491 0 0 0 0 1072275 1076008 419383 1268627 1681198 5517491 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X 358522 358522 297187 79557 217630 118748 114837 3911 63207 23685 39522 619585 1324354 1520217 -195863 -195863 1324354 1324354 1324354 1520217 1520217 1520217 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available The governing documents, policies and financial statements of the Organization are available for public review upon request during normal business hours at the Organization's office.
