Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We use a holistic two-generation approach (serving women and their children together) that moves families toward economic security by improving educational attainment (GED & Associate Degree for mothers and early learning skills for children) in addition to addressing the non-academic barriers that hinder their success.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Our 2GEN Learning Center provides wrap-around services designed to help women overcome the obstacles they face when working to improve their education. Our program includes elements of social, emotional, physical, and mental support. Our program includes free early childhood education for the 0-3-year-old children of our enrolled students and family literacy classes to increase parent engagement and enjoyment. We offer flexibility for our students, while still requiring a high level of commitment and determination from them in return.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Our learning center staff includes many certified teachers and our programming is in a modern learning environment with access to technology. We have a high-quality early childhood education classrooms staffed by experienced child care workers. Through partnerships with other organizations, our students can receive free, professional counseling from a licensed therapist, and they can have lunch for free every day with their children. Many of our classes and activities are designed to encourage positive social interactions which builds community among students. Our programs are all funded by generous donors and provided at no cost to students.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

In the first five years of existence with our 2GEN Learning Center model (2017-2022) we have produced 107 GED graduates which is a 47% graduation rate. A total of 485 individual GED subject area tests were passed in the same amount of time. Additionally, 81 children of GED graduates improved their early learning skills in our Early Childhood classrooms.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
