In addition, these workshops aid in the development of a stable network of support; employabilty skills, personal, relational and social undergirding; as well as, development of leadership ability. Money management is a part of their growth toward independence as are other life skills workshops that assist in guiding these young adults toward more emotional maturity and independence. In these hard economic times, we also support transitional housing programs in our area, as well as, the former foster youth who participate in our local community college workshops by meeting basic requirements such as supplying them with toiletries, clothing for work or school functions, school supplies, and other emergency needs that housing programs are unable to fund. Our aim is to support the multiple touch points that will allow these vulnerable youth to break the cycle of abuse and neglect they were born into. 91028 Mentoring and Mentor Training and Supervision: Jeremiah's Promise seeks to give the youth we serve an equal chance at success in our community's colleges and businesses, as well as to mentor them to break through cultural, racial, and ethnic barriers that would otherwise hold them back relationally, academically, professionally, economically and socially. Through mentoring, we lay the groundwork for these often-forgotten youth to achieve positive outcomes and to empower them to avoid engaging in relationships and behaviors that would further harm them and result in a loss of dignity and additional feelings of decreased self-worth. We recruit, screen, train and supervise the mentors we pair with former foster youth and non-minor dependents. The focus of the mentors is to provide these young people the resources and guidance required to complete post-high school/college coursework and to develop the skills needed to be successful in the working world and in their personal friendships and relationships. 75856 Web-based Mentoring: This web-based series of courses and action items is aimed at empowering the disadvantaged men and women, ages 17 to 24, through support in changing destructive and self-sabotaging belief structures, attitudes and behaviors. Our purpose is to move them along toward competency in feelings of self worth; communication skills; dealing with past trauma' building a stable, reliable network of support; improving employability; establishing a vision for their lives; conflict management; social and relational skills; and support in dealing with addictive behaviors. Through this series of online course work, we aim to broaden their access to healthy relationships, educational and career opportunities; and improve their understanding and appreciation for cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity; as well as, instruction in professional conduct; conflict resolution; signals of abusive relationships and how to extricate themselves from these situations. 303426 true true 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 false 3 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 6 5 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true false true true false false X X Gail Goodson of D Powell Inc 6509671047 2111 Landings Dr Mountain View CA 94043 Dave Robinson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Robinson 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Mitchell 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Golter 2.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Bennett 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Kim Golter 50.00 X X 70008 0 0 70008 0 false false false 0 111661 111661 Fee for Service 0 -36323 694 -37017 0 0 0 1035000 1215297 -180297 -180297 -180297 0 0 0 0 -104959 -179603 -37017 0 0 0 0 70008 42005 17502 10501 0 17531 10519 4382 2630 0 0 7933 4760 1983 1190 0 0 17604 9288 5994 2322 0 0 0 24625 24625 13411 13411 30298 18179 7574 4545 4747 2848 1187 712 0 29235 23389 2923 2923 2036 1630 203 203 0 0 0 0 6585 5071 790 724 12315 5580 5340 1395 Volunteer Appreciation 11472 9178 1147 1147 Program Services & Supplies 138831 138831 Meals, Meetings & Trainings 10944 4040 4358 2546 Community Networking 2000 2000 Bank Charges 1483 1483 0 401058 303426 53383 44249 0 138340 540932 0 0 0 0 0 0 1428 0 83974 7003 1144415 76971 0 0 0 0 -1 1 1284182 617904 160000 160000 0 X 1008281 502003 115901 115901 1124182 617904 1284182 617904 X -506017 -261 X true false false false false X 777195 326694 350554 190381 111661 1756485 26100 40950 67050 0 0 0 777195 326694 376654 231331 111661 1823535 0 0 1823535 48093 3908 480 115 694 53290 0 48093 3908 480 115 694 53290 0 0 825288 330602 377134 231446 112355 1876825 0.97160 0.97470 0.02840 0.02530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 69330 4817 64513 14644 2186 12458 76971 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available Governing documents, policies and financial statements are made available upon request.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 2 Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et Executive Director, Kim Golter, and Director, Brian Golter, are married.In September 2011, Jeremiah's Promise entered into a contractual agreement with Furious Integrated Training System (FITS) for the purpose of the development of an internet-based platform that would mentor emancipated youth and youth who are non-minor dependents of the foster care system in the most vulnerable areas of their lives with the aim of emotional healing, developing a dependable network of support, assistance in overcoming addictions, and preparing them for adulthood and its responsibilities. The agreement between CEO Haile Clay and Jeremiah's Promise was for Jeremiah's Promise to pay the bulk of the cost of the coder who would develop this system, which was estimated by FITS to be roughly 60% of market value for the product. The cost Jeremiah's Promise paid for the development was $58,000.Brian Golter is a contract employee of FITS and is married to Kim Golter. Mr. Golter also is a member of the Jeremiah's Promise Board of Directors. Jeremiah's Promise Board voted to proceed with the contract because it was agreed that no one affiliated with Jeremiah's Promise would benefit from the transaction. It was made as a goodwill gesture by FITS. By agreement of its Board, Jeremiah's Promise has not and will not profit from the use of the mentoring site, which is to be offered free of charge to users. The no-charge site is offered as part of Jeremiah's Promise program services to emancipated foster youth and non-minor dependents of the foster care system.Directors Carolyn Robinson and Dave Robinson are married.
