Our work is based on the understanding that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success and that great leaps in learning can be made when skilled tutors work one-on-one with students.During the 2009-2010 school year, we served over 6,100 Bay Area students with a variety of free literacy programs including: evening and weekend writing workshops on everything from cartooning to SAT preparation; assistance with student publications including newspapers, chapbooks, and professionally bound paperbacks; customized bookmaking field trips for public school classes; in-school tutoring support on writing projects; after-school academic tutoring in all subject areas; and scholarships for college-bound students. 0 0 168590 In-schools Program: During the 2009-10 school year, we served 49 teachers and 2105 students at 14 SFUSD schools through our In-schools Program. Students met with our volunteers over a combined total of 484 sessions throughout the year to produce myriad publications. At Everett Middle School, we served every student through our 826 Writers' Room, published two issues of the bilingual student newspaper, Straight-Up News. At our other 826 Writers' Room over at James Lick Middle School, we also served every student, and completed the second year of our video podcasting series. Our biggest publishing project was conducted at John O'Connell High School, where 50 juniors wrote about what the American Dream means to them. The students recounted stories about family, home, immigration, hardship, and the hopes of their generation as well as those of the generation that raised them. The end-product, a 258-page paperback with a foreword by author Daniel Alarcon, was celebrated with a release party on June 2, 1010 and is available for purchase on amazon.com and at bookstores nationwide. 146598 After-school Tutoring Program: Our After-school Tutoring Program remains one of the cornerstone programs of 826 Valencia. During the 2009-10 year we hosted the program 168 days for 85 enrolled students. An additional 339 dropped-in on Sunday afternoons. Highlights of the year included two Young Writers' Wall celebrations, where we honor six students and highlight their accomplishments with full color portraits on our back wall; two issues ofLook Closer/Mira de Circa, our anthology of shorter student works; the creation of two stop-motion animation films; and the start of a new partnership with the SF Chroniclewhere our students' movie reviews were featured prominently in the paper each month. 110691 Field Trip Program: During the 2009-10 school year we hosted 135 field trips, up nine from the year before. During these field trips, a combined total of 3021 students from local schools visited our center in the Mission District for a morning of high-energy learning. Students interviewed local authors, practiced slam poetry, and studied journalism techniques. The most popular field trip this year was one we invented called Storytelling & Bookmaking, in which students write, illustrate, and bind their own books. Our field trip program remains so popular that our schedule is filled all the way through next year. 209960 63500 17956 209960 63500 17956 635839 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 17 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X Leigh Lehman Executive Director 4156425905 826 Valencia Street San Francisco CA 94110 X Brian Gray 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Schaefer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Mike 1.50 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA QUINN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Barbara Bersche 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Middlebrook 1.50 X 0 0 0 abner morales 1.00 X 0 0 0 BITA NAZARIAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 VENDELA VIDA 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD WOLFGRAM 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101819 28000 612015 34116 741834 program fees 611710 17956 17956 17956 35055 35055 227146 229624 -2478 -2478 -2478 32790 101819 44117 -11327 -11327 248505 172244 76261 33626 42635 other revenues 900099 314 314 314 857615 17956 33626 64199 63500 63500 344604 265345 13784 65475 43284 36867 1638 4779 30887 23783 1235 5869 62228 62228 48048 48048 14760 10090 1376 3294 87662 67500 3506 16656 7794 7794 9492 9352 24 116 37046 27881 4033 5132 18949 14590 759 3600 10808 8119 2689 Supplies 35288 31760 1764 1764 other expenses 16845 8320 684 7841 outreach 8364 5855 2509 Equipment Rental & Main 5737 4418 229 1090 Repairs & Maintenance 2617 2617 847913 635839 93949 118125 585821 360626 243950 284040 225804 213712 765 5268 100031 112987 14237 20228 155929 132795 39282 23134 674565 916094 1884455 1936089 55079 44492 91461 119000 146540 163492 X 1355582 1468088 382333 304509 1737915 1772597 1884455 1936089 X 1 0 1 X 0 X 701139 839838 977269 1143797 741834 4403877 701139 839838 977269 1143797 741834 4403877 587014 3816863 16141 17797 24866 32746 35055 126605 5244 5244 3123 1162 314 4599 4540325 1622379 0.84070 0.81250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 36342 27122 9220 56778 45268 11510 62809 60405 2404 23134 scholarship payable 119000 119000 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: The organization has evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of June 30, 2010, the organization does not have any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary.
