| General explanation attachment | Form 990EZ Part III Organizations Primary Exempt PurposeInthecity develops leaders in urban communities by empowering families, building support networks, and improving academic achievement. Form 990EZ Part III Line 28 Statement of Program Service AccomplishmentsFounded in 2008, In the City, Inc. (ITC) is an independent 501(c)3 based in and serving the community of Lincoln Heights, one of the oldest and smallest neighborhoods in the Eastside region of Los Angeles. ITC fundamentally believes that the best solutions to the challenges facing underserved communities are found in the very people who live there. But, the systemic lack of equity and access for children and families from low-income neighborhoods often breeds hopelessness, affecting their ability to visualize alternative futures for themselves and their communities. Therefore, ITCs mission is to provide fundamental educational and social support services that increase opportunities for our students and their families.Lincoln Heights (LH) is a small, highly dense neighborhood, with 30,000 residents. It is predominantly poor-to-working class, with a population that is 70.7% Latino and 25.2% Asian. Fifty-six (56) percent of its residents are foreign born. LH ranks within the top 5% of poorest neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles County (LAC). Of residents 25 and older, only 17% have a high school diploma, 5.5% of are college graduates, 68% of adults have less than a 9th grade education, and only 17% of graduating Abraham Lincoln High School (LHS) students are eligible for four year institutions. _Mission 3.0 & MentorshipIn 2010, Mission 3.0 was created to provide focused help, guidance, and access to resources to student-athletes at the local high school, Lincoln High. Through collaboration with coaches, teachers, and administrators, Mission 3.0 challenges these students, who are historically some of the lowest academic achievers at LHS, to strive beyond the minimum 2.0 GPA required to play a school sport. ITC provides mandatory tutoring sessions for the student-athletes, scheduled around game and practice times. We also collaborate with other organizations, institutions, and individuals to provide content-driven workshops, interactive guest panels, and presentations. Our hope is that every student-athlete who participates in Mission 3.0 begins visualizing alternative futures for him/herself and is better prepared to attend college, and challenged to be more engaged in their learning by taking a more active role in planning for life after high school. Through our work, we are transforming the attitudes and expectations students have about their education and futures, and sharing the tools they need to realize their dreams. In 2015, we finished our work with 11 athletic teams, totaling 238 student-athletes at LHS. All teams collective GPA improved at post-season! In the fall of 2015, we continued our services for both the JV and V Football teams. To further transform students expectations of themselves, and empower students to take ownership of their education and their future, we also offer weekly mentorship that extends beyond the respective athletics season. As a testament to the strength of this program, the GPAs of student-athletes that chose to receive this service have significantly higher GPA improvements than their non-mentored counterparts._ Elementary Afterschool AcademyAfter five years of working with the local high school through Mission 3.0 and the Mentorship Program, ITC is even more informed and convinced of the necessity to provide services earlier, in order to change the trajectory for urban students academic and social outcomes. More significantly, there are no afterschool programs in Lincoln Heights providing free, daily, ndividualized academic support and attention to elementary students. ITC officially launched SPARK, an on-campus, afterschool program at Griffin Avenue Elementary (hereinafter, Griffin), just blocks away from Lincoln High School, in October 2015. For this pilot year, ITC serves 20 participants in 3rd and 4th grade. The program is uniquely academics-centered and has a distinctly low staff to student ratio (1:7), both of which is unlike any standard afterschool programs that are equivalent to homework clubs, day care centers, or recreational enrichment. It is operated daily on campus, right after school until 5:30pm. It has a uniquely low staff to student ratio (1:7). Based on Griffins 2013 California Standards Test scores reveal a high number of students testing at basic or below basic benchmark level: 61% for English/Language Arts (ELA) and 44% for Math. 90% of the students currently enrolled are way below or below national benchmarks/standards.SPARK provides a well-rounded structure and curriculum that emphasizes mastery of the fundamentals: reading, writing, and arithmetic, as all skills build upon these basics. We focus on homework completion and accuracy (tutoring), 1-on-1/1-on-2 intervention, and group-based learning via holistic activities that reinforces reading, writing, and math.In just 3 months (October to December 2015), ITC is already receiving positive feedback from parents, teachers, and school administration. They are thrilled about the positive changes and growth observed in each students work habits, behavior, and/or academic abilities. The students are learning and applying the different strategies and skills we are teaching them, resulting in cleaner and more accurate work, and even peer teaching and learning! ITC is confident that by the end of the school year, each child will significantly improve upon his/her trouble area(s). Griffins Principal is adamant about continuing the partnership, as he has seen the positive impact firsthand. Our desire is to continue and expand SPARK at Griffin, and other local elementary schools, for years to come. |
