What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL IS A REGIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT WILL ENABLE CITIZENS TO STUDY, DISCUSS, AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE OUR REGIONAL COMMUNITY. THE REGION IN WHICH THE COUNCIL WILL OPERATE INCLUDES PART OF SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON STATE AND A SMALL PART OF NORTHEAST OREGON STATE, WITH THE CITY OF WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON REPRESENTING THE LARGEST POPULATION CENTER. THE COUNCIL WILL GENERATE A RECURRING CYCLE OF DISCUSSION, RESEARCH, CONSENSUS, ADVOCACY, AND MEASUREMENT OF PROGRESS TOWARD COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT. THE COUNCIL HAS ESTABLISHED A PROGRAM COMMITTEE THAT WILL ANNUALLY RECOMMEND REGIONAL ISSUES FOR STUDY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR SELECTION, APPROVAL, AND THE BEGINNING OF ACTION.
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner, describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title.
28 COMMUNITY COUNCIL MARKED ITS FIFTH YEAR IN EXISTENCE IN 2013 BY CELEBRATING THE IMPACTS OF ITS STUDY PROCESS: THE CITIZEN-DRIVEN, CONSENSUS-BASED, PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS WHICH ENTAILS STUDY AND ACTION THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE IMPACTS OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS WERE DISPLAYED AT THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON ON NOVEMBER 6TH, ATTENDED BY OVER 200 PEOPLE. REPRESENTATIVES FROM A NUMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS, EDUCATION, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITIES DESCRIBED THE IMPACT A PARTICULAR STUDY HAD ON THEIR ORGANIZATION, GENERATING CHANGES THAT RANGED FROM INDIVIDUAL GROWTH TO SYSTEM CHANGES. THE POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY CHANGES RESULTING FROM COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS EXEMPLIFY THE POWER OF THE CITIZEN-DRIVEN, COMMUNITY PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL. CITIZENS AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. STUDY PROCESS COMMITTEES: PROGRAM, STUDY, AND IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE: REDUCING GANG MEMBERSHIP THROUGH PREVENTION COMPLETION OF THE THREE-YEAR STUDY PROCESS FOR THIS STUDY WAS CELEBRATED AT THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON ON NOVEMBER 6TH WITH OVER 200 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. COMMUNITY RESULTS FROM THIS STUDY INCLUDE: DIRECTION GIVEN TO A CONSORTIUM OF GROUPS WORKING TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED COMMUNITY-HEALTHY YOUTH INITIATIVE THAT WILL, AS ONE OF ITS GOALS, CONTINUE TO PROMOTE PREVENTION OF GANG ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITY; A WALLA WALLA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROUNDTABLE SESSION ON GANGS; COLLABORATION AMONG WALLA WALLA AREA CRIME WATCH, SHERWOOD TRUST, AND CITY OF WALLA WALLA TO PURCHASE AND HOUSE A GLASS-BEAD BLASTING MACHINE TO ASSIST WITH GRAFFITI REMOVAL; A CITIZENS' GROUP, WORKING THROUGH THE MILTON-FREEWATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DISCUSSING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAFFITI REMOVAL PROGRAM IN MILTON-FREEWATER; LAUNCH OF A COLLEGE PLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT COUPLES SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL BEHAVIORS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS WITH CLASS MENTORING; EDUCATION OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ABOUT LOCAL GANG ISSUES AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES; ESTABLISHMENT OF A NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WHICH STRIVES, THROUGH HOME VISITS BY NURSES, TO EMPOWER FIRST-TIME MOTHERS LIVING IN POVERTY TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN; AND COLLABORATION AMONG A NUMBER OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND INDIVIDUALS TO CREATE AND OPERATE A CUTTING EDGE NEW PROGRAM FOR TATTOO REMOVAL, MENTORING, AND ASSISTING INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR PURSUIT OF POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES TO GANG MEMBERSHIP, KNOWN AS THE INK-OUT PROGRAM. ALL OF THE RESULTS ARE DESCRIBED FULLY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE'S FINAL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S WEBSITE, WWW.WWCOMMUNITYCOUNCIL.ORG. IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE: IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE STUDY COMMITTEE WERE PASSED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE, WHICH DEVELOPED ITS STRATEGIC APPROACH TO IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE STUDY REPORT. THE TASK FORCE BEGAN ADVOCATING FOR THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS IN LATE 2013 AND WILL CONTINUE IN 2014. THE LIST OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOUND IN THE STUDY REPORT ON COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S WEBSITE. STUDY COMMITTEE: IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY ANNE HALEY CHAIRS THIS COMMITTEE. THE STUDY MANAGEMENT TEAM WAS FORMED IN LATE 2013 AND THE FIRST STUDY COMMITTEE MEETING TOOK PLACE IN JANUARY 2014, WITH OVER 35 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY MINI-STUDY RICK GRIFFIN, DIRECTOR OF JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, WHO SERVED AS THE GANG PREVENTION STUDY COMMITTEE CHAIR, WANTED TO BRING THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL STUDY PROCESS MODEL TO HIS STUDENTS. COMMUNITY COUNCIL WANTED TO EXPERIMENT WITH A MINI-STUDY, ONE THAT COULD BE CONCLUDED IN ONE YEAR INSTEAD OF THREE. THE MATCH WAS PERFECT THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY BEGAN IN 2013 AND CONTINUES INTO 2014. JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL FOR YOUNG MEN LOCATED NEAR PRESCOTT, HAS INCORPORATED A MODIFIED STUDY PROCESS INTO THEIR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY PROGRAMMING. COMMUNITY COUNCIL STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS ARE TEACHING STUDENTS TO USE THE STUDY PROCESS' DECISION-MAKING FORMAT, AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND FACULTY WILL GUIDE THE STUDENTS THROUGH A PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE PROCESS. THE STUDENTS SELECTED THEIR TOPIC, HOW CAN HELPING YOUTH SPEAK UP ABOUT BULLYING REDUCE BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS? THE STUDY PHASE OF THE COURSE WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE SPRING OF 2014, WITH STUDENTS PRESENTING WHAT THEY LEARNED AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE 2014-15 ACADEMIC YEAR. STUDENTS WILL EARN ACADEMIC CREDIT, GAIN CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO AFFECT COMMUNITY DECISION-MAKING, AND FIND GRATIFICATION IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. INDICATORS COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WANTING A MORE INTERACTIVE SET OF INDICATORS, DECIDED TO CHANGE FROM THE WALLA WALLA REGIONAL VITAL SIGNS WEBSITE TO A MORE HANDS-ON INDICATORS PROGRAM THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED. CRAIG CHRISTENSEN, COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT, IS SERVING ON AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO HELP DEVELOP A STATEWIDE "HEALTHY COMMUNITY INDICATORS PROGRAM." WALLA WALLA, UNDER THE AUSPICES OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL, MAY BE ONE OF THE EARLY SITES TO USE THE DATA TO ANALYZE LOCAL TRENDS. THE HOPE IS THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BE A PRECURSOR TO DEVELOPING A PROGRAM OF COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PRIORITIES AND GOALS, AND THAT IT WILL BE A TOOL TO MEASURE THE WORK OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS. OUTREACH COMMUNITY COUNCIL CONTINUED ITS TRADITION OF OUTREACH THROUGH SOCIALS: THIS YEAR IN DAYTON AT THE WEINHARD HOTEL, IN MILTON-FREEWATER AT THE NINE TREES INN, AND IN WALLA WALLA AT SEVEN HILLS WINERY. ABOUT 25 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE DAYTON EVENT, OVER 50 ATTENDED THE MILTON-FREEWATER EVENT, AND ALMOST 100 ATTENDED THE WALLA WALLA EVENT. ALMOST 100 PEOPLE CAME TO THE STUDY REPORT LUNCHEON TO CELEBRATE THE WORK OF THE IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE'S WORK. OVER 200 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON, MANY OF WHOM HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN INVOLVED IN OR AWARE OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL. STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION REPORTS WERE SENT TO MEDIA, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, FUNDERS, STUDY SPEAKERS, STUDY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28 COMMUNITY COUNCIL MARKED ITS FIFTH YEAR IN EXISTENCE IN 2013 BY CELEBRATING THE IMPACTS OF ITS STUDY PROCESS: THE CITIZEN-DRIVEN, CONSENSUS-BASED, PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS WHICH ENTAILS STUDY AND ACTION THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE IMPACTS OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS WERE DISPLAYED AT THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON ON NOVEMBER 6TH, ATTENDED BY OVER 200 PEOPLE. REPRESENTATIVES FROM A NUMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS, EDUCATION, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITIES DESCRIBED THE IMPACT A PARTICULAR STUDY HAD ON THEIR ORGANIZATION, GENERATING CHANGES THAT RANGED FROM INDIVIDUAL GROWTH TO SYSTEM CHANGES. THE POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY CHANGES RESULTING FROM COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS EXEMPLIFY THE POWER OF THE CITIZEN-DRIVEN, COMMUNITY PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL. CITIZENS AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. STUDY PROCESS COMMITTEES: PROGRAM, STUDY, AND IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE: REDUCING GANG MEMBERSHIP THROUGH PREVENTION COMPLETION OF THE THREE-YEAR STUDY PROCESS FOR THIS STUDY WAS CELEBRATED AT THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON ON NOVEMBER 6TH WITH OVER 200 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. COMMUNITY RESULTS FROM THIS STUDY INCLUDE: DIRECTION GIVEN TO A CONSORTIUM OF GROUPS WORKING TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED COMMUNITY-HEALTHY YOUTH INITIATIVE THAT WILL, AS ONE OF ITS GOALS, CONTINUE TO PROMOTE PREVENTION OF GANG ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITY; A WALLA WALLA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROUNDTABLE SESSION ON GANGS; COLLABORATION AMONG WALLA WALLA AREA CRIME WATCH, SHERWOOD TRUST, AND CITY OF WALLA WALLA TO PURCHASE AND HOUSE A GLASS-BEAD BLASTING MACHINE TO ASSIST WITH GRAFFITI REMOVAL; A CITIZENS' GROUP, WORKING THROUGH THE MILTON-FREEWATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DISCUSSING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAFFITI REMOVAL PROGRAM IN MILTON-FREEWATER; LAUNCH OF A COLLEGE PLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT COUPLES SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL BEHAVIORS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS WITH CLASS MENTORING; EDUCATION OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ABOUT LOCAL GANG ISSUES AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES; ESTABLISHMENT OF A NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WHICH STRIVES, THROUGH HOME VISITS BY NURSES, TO EMPOWER FIRST-TIME MOTHERS LIVING IN POVERTY TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN; AND COLLABORATION AMONG A NUMBER OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND INDIVIDUALS TO CREATE AND OPERATE A CUTTING EDGE NEW PROGRAM FOR TATTOO REMOVAL, MENTORING, AND ASSISTING INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR PURSUIT OF POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES TO GANG MEMBERSHIP, KNOWN AS THE INK-OUT PROGRAM. ALL OF THE RESULTS ARE DESCRIBED FULLY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE'S FINAL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S WEBSITE, WWW.WWCOMMUNITYCOUNCIL.ORG. IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE: IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE STUDY COMMITTEE WERE PASSED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE, WHICH DEVELOPED ITS STRATEGIC APPROACH TO IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE STUDY REPORT. THE TASK FORCE BEGAN ADVOCATING FOR THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS IN LATE 2013 AND WILL CONTINUE IN 2014. THE LIST OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOUND IN THE STUDY REPORT ON COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S WEBSITE. STUDY COMMITTEE: IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY ANNE HALEY CHAIRS THIS COMMITTEE. THE STUDY MANAGEMENT TEAM WAS FORMED IN LATE 2013 AND THE FIRST STUDY COMMITTEE MEETING TOOK PLACE IN JANUARY 2014, WITH OVER 35 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY MINI-STUDY RICK GRIFFIN, DIRECTOR OF JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, WHO SERVED AS THE GANG PREVENTION STUDY COMMITTEE CHAIR, WANTED TO BRING THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL STUDY PROCESS MODEL TO HIS STUDENTS. COMMUNITY COUNCIL WANTED TO EXPERIMENT WITH A MINI-STUDY, ONE THAT COULD BE CONCLUDED IN ONE YEAR INSTEAD OF THREE. THE MATCH WAS PERFECT THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY BEGAN IN 2013 AND CONTINUES INTO 2014. JUBILEE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL FOR YOUNG MEN LOCATED NEAR PRESCOTT, HAS INCORPORATED A MODIFIED STUDY PROCESS INTO THEIR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY PROGRAMMING. COMMUNITY COUNCIL STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS ARE TEACHING STUDENTS TO USE THE STUDY PROCESS' DECISION-MAKING FORMAT, AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND FACULTY WILL GUIDE THE STUDENTS THROUGH A PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE PROCESS. THE STUDENTS SELECTED THEIR TOPIC, HOW CAN HELPING YOUTH SPEAK UP ABOUT BULLYING REDUCE BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS? THE STUDY PHASE OF THE COURSE WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE SPRING OF 2014, WITH STUDENTS PRESENTING WHAT THEY LEARNED AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE 2014-15 ACADEMIC YEAR. STUDENTS WILL EARN ACADEMIC CREDIT, GAIN CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO AFFECT COMMUNITY DECISION-MAKING, AND FIND GRATIFICATION IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. INDICATORS COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WANTING A MORE INTERACTIVE SET OF INDICATORS, DECIDED TO CHANGE FROM THE WALLA WALLA REGIONAL VITAL SIGNS WEBSITE TO A MORE HANDS-ON INDICATORS PROGRAM THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED. CRAIG CHRISTENSEN, COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT, IS SERVING ON AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO HELP DEVELOP A STATEWIDE "HEALTHY COMMUNITY INDICATORS PROGRAM." WALLA WALLA, UNDER THE AUSPICES OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL, MAY BE ONE OF THE EARLY SITES TO USE THE DATA TO ANALYZE LOCAL TRENDS. THE HOPE IS THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BE A PRECURSOR TO DEVELOPING A PROGRAM OF COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PRIORITIES AND GOALS, AND THAT IT WILL BE A TOOL TO MEASURE THE WORK OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S STUDY PROCESS. OUTREACH COMMUNITY COUNCIL CONTINUED ITS TRADITION OF OUTREACH THROUGH SOCIALS: THIS YEAR IN DAYTON AT THE WEINHARD HOTEL, IN MILTON-FREEWATER AT THE NINE TREES INN, AND IN WALLA WALLA AT SEVEN HILLS WINERY. ABOUT 25 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE DAYTON EVENT, OVER 50 ATTENDED THE MILTON-FREEWATER EVENT, AND ALMOST 100 ATTENDED THE WALLA WALLA EVENT. ALMOST 100 PEOPLE CAME TO THE STUDY REPORT LUNCHEON TO CELEBRATE THE WORK OF THE IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE'S WORK. OVER 200 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE FULL CIRCLE CELEBRATION LUNCHEON, MANY OF WHOM HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN INVOLVED IN OR AWARE OF COMMUNITY COUNCIL. STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION REPORTS WERE SENT TO MEDIA, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, FUNDERS, STUDY SPEAKERS, STUDY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
