Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
DWIGHT HALL AT YALE HAS EVOLVED INTO AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION WITH A STRONG HISTORY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK IN NEW HAVEN AND BEYOND. THE ORGANIZATION FEATURES OVER 90 STUDENT-RUN MEMBER GROUPS THAT ENGAGE 3,500 STUDENTS, OR 2/3 OF YALE'S UNDERGRADUATES EACH YEAR IN SERVICE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTIVITIES. DWIGHT HALL ENABLES STUDENTS TO DESIGN, MANAGE, EVALUATE AND ADAPT PROGRAMS THAT RESPOND TO A WIDE RANGE OF LOCAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL NEEDS. IT SPONSORS SEVEN INTENSIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE AN IN-DEPTH COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS. IT PROMOTES A CULTURE OF ACTION AND REFLECTION THAT ENCOURAGES STUDENT LEADERS TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES, LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL LEADERS AND COLLABORATE ON SOLVING SOCIETAL CHALLENGES. ITS OUTREACH CURRENTLY INCLUDES ALUMNI AND STUDENTS FROM THE GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY AND THROUGH YALE CLUBS. A MORE EXTENSIVE AND INTERGENERATIONAL COMMUNITY WILL ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF UNDERGRADUATES WHILE FURTHERING SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH INCREASED VOLUNTEERISM AND ACTIVISM.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
CHOSEN ARTS DISCIPLINE, AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEEPEN THEIR STUDY OF THEIR CHOSEN ART. CAS INSTRUCTORS INCLUDE CO-OP REGULAR TEACHERS AND PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS IN THE COMMUNITY,AS WELL AS YALE COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO SERVE AS ASSISTANTS. CO-OP HIGH SCHOOL IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE DOWNTOWN ARTS DISTRICT OF NEW HAVEN, CT. THIS 72 MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING WAS DESIGNED BY PELLI CLARKE PELLI ARCHITECTS, AND INCLUDES A PROFESSIONAL 350-SEAT THEATER, STATE-OF-THEATER, VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIOS, DANCE STUDIOS, CHORAL CHAMBERS, AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC REHEARSAL SPACES. THIS PREMIER FACILITY RESOURCE AFFORDS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO CO-OP STUDENTS. NONETHELESS, THE SCHOOL FACES THE SAME CHALLENGES AS ANY OTHER SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THE NEW HAVEN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT. ENROLLMENT AT CO-OP IS OPEN TO ANY STUDENT AND THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR CO-OP REFLECT THOSE FOR THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE. A MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ENROLLED AT CO-OP ARE LOW-INCOME NEW HAVEN RESIDENTS AND 61.5% OF ALL STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCHES ACCORDING TO 2006-2007 STATISTICS (CT STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STRATEGIC SCHOOLS PROFILE). AN ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE FACING THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IS THAT CO-OP HIGH SCHOOL DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE BUDGET RESOURCES TO UTILIZE ITS SPACE OUTSIDE OF REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS, RESULTING IN LIMITED OPTIONS FOR CO-OP STUDENTS IN THEIR OWN BUILDING. FOR THIS REASON, CO-OP'S STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS AND THE CITY OF NEW HAVEN SHARE THE VISION OF OFFERING POSITIVE YOUTH ACTIVITIES THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY LEVERAGE THEIR NEW AND EXTRAORDINARY RESOURCES AND ALSO LEAD TO IMPROVED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. DWIGHT HALL SOUGHT SUPPORT FROM CSDE, CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS, AND PRIVATE SOURCES TO ESTABLISH CAS'S STRONG OUTCOMES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND ACHIEVEMENT. IN ADDITION TO HARNESSING SCHOOL, CITY, AND UNIVERSITY RESOURCES, DWIGHT HALL ALSO PROVIDES ITS OWN STUDENT LEADERS WITH MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPROVE QUALITY AND ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF CAS TO IMPACT CO-OP STUDENTS. APPROXIMATELY 60 YALE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS HAVE PROVIDED SUPPORT THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMMATIC OFFERINGS AND THROUGH SUPPLEMENTAL TUTORING SERVICES. VOLUNTEERS HAVE WORKED THROUGH ESTABLISHED DWIGHT HALL STUDENT-RUN MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS THE URBAN DEBATE LEAGUE AND PUBLIC SCHOOL INTERNSHIP, AS WELL AS UNIVERSITY ARTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NOT TRADITIONALLY SERVICE-ORIENTED, SUCH AS THE ALLIANCE FOR DANCE AT YALE AND THE YALE SPIZZWINKS A CAPELLA SINGING GROUP. DWIGHT HALL PROVIDES A FULL-TIME AMERICORPS VISTA MEMBER AND THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE OF ITS STAFF PROGRAM DIRECTOR TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF CAS. A JOINT MANAGEMENT TEAM CONSISTING OF DWIGHT HALL AT YALE REPRESENTATIVES, CO-OP HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM A PARTNER COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT (COOP CENTER FOR CREATIVITY, INC.), AND YALE UNIVERSITY REVIEW ALL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE CAS PROGRAM. IN CONCERT WITH THE JOINT MANAGEMENT TEAM, A STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL OPEN TO ANY REGISTERED STUDENT IN CAS PROGRAMS REVIEWS PROGRAM OFFERINGS AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE PROGRAMMING TO ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL AND STUDENT COMMUNITY. FURTHERMORE, A PARENT LIAISON IS AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF THE CAS ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF AND COMMUNICATES ON A DAILY BASIS WITH PARENTS OF ENROLLED CAS STUDENTS TO ENSURE THAT FAMILY NEEDS ARE CONSIDERED.
