| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | PROJECT SUCCESS MOTIVATES AND INSPIRES YOUNG PEOPLE TO DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE, HELPS THEM TAKE STEPS TO GET THERE AND GIVES THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. SCHEDULE O: EXPANDED MISSION STATEMENT OF ORGANIZATION PROJECT SUCCESS IS A YOUTH-DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS WITH STUDENTS OVER A SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD, FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, TO HELP THEM BUILD CONFIDENCE, DEVELOP CRITICAL 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, AND GRADUATE WITH PLANS FOR THEIR FUTURES. OUR VISION IS THAT EVERY CHILD ENTERING MIDDLE SCHOOL WILL GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL WITH A PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURE AND HAVE THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE THAT WILL TAKE THEM THROUGH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. PROJECT SUCCESS BELIEVES THAT EVERY CHILD IS CAPABLE OF FINDING AND DEVELOPING THE SKILLS AND RESILIENCE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE LIFE SUCCESS. THE KEY IS OUR SEVEN-YEAR APPROACH: WE MEET YOUNG PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT, WITHOUT JUDGMENT, USING OUTCOMES-BASED PROGRAMMING IN AND OUT OF CLASS TIME CONTINUOUSLY FROM 6TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE. SERVING THE WHOLE CHILD OVER TIME, WE WORK WITH EACH STUDENT IN EVERY SCHOOL WE SERVE, AT LEAST MONTHLY FOR UP TO SEVEN YEARS, IN THEIR LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSROOMS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY, AS WELL AS OFFER EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AFTER SCHOOL, EVENINGS, WEEKENDS AND SUMMERS, BUILDING DEEP AND TRUSTING DEVELOPMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. WE ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH A PROVEN CURRICULUM DELIVERED BY PROFESSIONAL, CARING YOUTH DEVELOPMENT STAFF, AND WOVEN THROUGH INTERLINKED PROGRAMMING THAT ENGAGES A YOUNG PERSON FROM A LEARNER-BASED APPROACH, FOCUSING ON HELPING THEM BECOME AWARE OF HIS OR HER OWN SENSE OF SELF, SO HE OR SHE CAN FIND THE RESILIENCE TO OVERCOME THE EXPECTED, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LIFE OPPORTUNITIES. OUR ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: - MONTHLY GOAL-SETTING WORKSHOPS IN EVERY ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSROOM FOR EACH STUDENT IN EVERY SCHOOL WE SERVE, AND ONE-ON-ONE POST-SECONDARY PLANNING SUPPORT. - PROFESSIONAL THEATER EXPERIENCES, OFFERED AT LEAST 8 AND UP TO 12 TIMES ANNUALLY, TO ALL STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. - EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS COLLEGE TOURS, STUDENT PERFORMANCES, ARTIST RESIDENCIES, AND OUTDOOR/WILDERNESS EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL TIME. THIS YEAR, WE WILL DELIVER PROGRAMMING TO NEARLY 12,000 STUDENTS IN 15 MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. FOR MORE THAN 23 YEARS, PROJECT SUCCESS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS TO HELP THEM DREAM AND PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURES AND STRENGTHEN THEIR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS - ALL OF WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL, WORK AND LIFE. OUR INNOVATIVE AND INCLUSIVE LONG-TERM MODEL IS PROVEN TO HELP STUDENTS KNOW THEMSELVES BETTER (INTEGRATED IDENTITY), DEVELOP A STRONGER COMMITMENT TO LEARNING (SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS), INTERNALIZE SOCIAL SKILLS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN MULTIPLE CONTEXTS (COMPETENCY) AND DEVELOPS THE ABILITY TO MAKE CHOICES ABOUT AND TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR OWN LIFE PATHS (AGENCY). OUR PROFESSIONAL, CARING STAFF PROVIDES TIME AND SPACE FOR FACILITATED DISCUSSION AND EXPLORATION TO HELP KIDS DISCOVER WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF LIFE SO THEY CAN BUILD THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ACADEMIC PERSISTENCE NOW AND SUCCESS IN MEETING THEIR GOALS IN THE FUTURE. PROJECT SUCCESS PROGRAMMING POSITIVELY IMPACTS ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT AND POST-SECONDARY READINESS THROUGH OUR WORK IN THREE AREAS: 1. SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT: THROUGH DEVELOPMENTAL EXPERIENCES ADULT SUPPORT, YOUNG PEOPLE BUILD SELF-REGULATION, KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, POSITIVE MINDSETS AND CORE VALUES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND CAREER READINESS. 2. SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS: STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN HEALTHY BEHAVIORS AND SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY WHEN THEY FEEL CONNECTED TO SCHOOL AND THE ACADEMIC WORK THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO. BY DREAMING AND SETTING GOALS FOR THE FUTURE, THEY CAN CONNECT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SCHOOL WITH THEIR OWN GOALS AND DREAMS. 3. ARTS ACCESS AND EDUCATION: STUDENTS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ARTS INVOLVEMENT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND TO OBTAIN A COLLEGE DEGREE. OVER 23 YEARS, PROJECT SUCCESS HAS DEVELOPED STRONG AND ENDURING PARTNERSHIPS WITH STUDENTS, FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, THEATERS, FUNDERS, AND THE COMMUNITY, FOUNDED ON HIGH INTEGRITY, STRONG PROGRAMMING, AND A PROVEN CURRICULUM. NINE OUT OF TEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REPORT THAT PROJECT SUCCESS HELPS THEM CREATE A PLAN FOR AFTER GRADUATION, AND DATA ANALYSIS PROVES THAT THE MORE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT SUCCESS PROGRAMMING, THE GREATER THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THEIR ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT. OUR INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED PROGRAM RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THAT PROJECT SUCCESS PROGRAMMING HAS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER IMPACT FOR STUDENTS OF COLOR AND FOR STUDENTS FROM SCHOOLS LOCATED IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH ECONOMIC DISPARITY. "PROJECT SUCCESS WORKS. IT HELPS SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS IN CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS. WE SEE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE GAINS IN ON-TIME GRADUATION RATES, ATTENDANCE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY GRADE POINT AVERAGE."
