We have continued to focus our programming so youth gain skills in at least one of seven core skills that EMPOWER students: empathy, manners, perseverance, ownership, well-being, equity, and regulation.Classes create safe, age-appropriate spaces for students to explore a wealth of common kid-issues. Every topic CLIMB addresses is well researched and learning outcomes are created to uniquely reach each lesson's goals. Our education works with the teachers and staff at each school and customizes the lesson to students' needs. Through games, scenes, discussion, and role-play, students learn about the topic, while also gaining skills in at least one of five core skill areas: empathy, self-control, resiliency, accountability, and advocacy. In the end, students feel empowered to take action to benefit themselves and their community.Plays are research-based and expertly written to achieve maximum artistic impact and specific educational objectives. Similarly, to the classes, plays address a wide array of important topics by teaching students' relevant life skills. Performed in venues from state-of-the-art theatres to basement cafeterias, CLIMB's innovative sets and costumes can be transported anywhere. Prior to each performance, CLIMB e-mails schools supplemental teacher activities and discussion guides. CLIMB's programming covers any of the following topics: bullying prevention, drug prevention, handling emotions, taking turns/sharing, cliques/exclusion, cyber safety, acceptance of differences, financial literacy, and environmental issues (aquatic invasive species, recycling, waste reduction, water conservation). 537676 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 77 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 MN X X The Organization 6514539275 6415 Carmen Avenue East Inver Grove Heights MN 55076 Justin Cervantes Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Taitel Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James Olney Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Afton Benson Managing Director and CEO 40.00 X 55840 0 0 55840 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 72003 140346 212349 Class and Performance Fees 711110 277335 277335 277335 4597 4597 66187 64272 1915 1915 1915 20364514 20130590 233924 187441 46483 Miscellaneous Income 900099 1515 1515 1515 731635 277335 189356 52595 49244 42748 5709 787 375753 326185 43559 6009 24525 16747 7395 383 44252 28051 15695 506 23388 23388 10221 10221 56 56 946 20 415 511 29431 14739 14163 529 45269 17271 25990 2008 34148 34142 6 36077 207 35815 55 45279 45279 53136 32155 18684 2297 Miscellaneous 7507 4895 2397 215 Tax liability expense 6573 6573 Equipment rental 6479 4256 1899 324 Theater production expe 5459 5459 829 524 305 798572 537676 247272 13624 208345 206937 2324 72989 5813 2494 85887 114784 16530 18267 13006 14738 1720974 1206207 578072 514767 34263 36060 944240 981036 172312 161626 87922 78772 632693 826180 60000 0 39472 29554 992399 1096132 X -48159 -141096 0 26000 -48159 -115096 944240 981036 -66937 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 549022 451604 206557 143382 212349 1562914 100619 197305 255830 342962 277335 1174051 72053 98266 150302 248958 281214 850793 721694 747175 612689 735302 770898 3587758 0 0 0 3587758 23871 10150 57728 68446 4597 164792 23871 10150 57728 68446 4597 164792 0 0 0 44817 0 44817 287875 50429 51598 1515 391417 745565 1045200 720846 900163 777010 4188784 0.85650 0.60730 0.03930 0.04710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 112646 112646 1406664 1015010 391654 162924 152457 10467 38740 38740 0 514767 Security Deposits 4400 Operating Lease Liability 14299 Financing Lease Liability 10855 29554 797129 72067 72067 725062 6573 6573 731635 864066 72067 72067 791999 6573 6573 798572 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Insurance Reimbursements 7,795.
