Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO CREATE LEARNING COMMUNITIES IN LOWER INCOME URBAN AREAS WHERE ALL STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SUCCEEDED IN TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS, CAN REACH THEIR POTENTIAL, AND PREPARE FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND A LIFETIME OF SUCCESS. TO FURTHER ITS MISSION, THE FOUNDATION MANAGES THREE SCHOOLS: THE MAYA ANGELOU ACADEMY AT NEW BEGINNINGS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER; THE MAYA ANGELOU ACADEMY AT THE DC DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; AND THE MAYA ANGELOU ACADEMY AT THE YOUTH SERVICES CENTER.

  • THE SEE FOREVER FOUNDATION WAS CREATED TO OFFER A HOLISTIC PROGRAM TO TEENS INVOLVED IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. AT THAT TIME, COURT-INVOLVED TEENS TOLD THE ORGANIZATION'S CO-FOUNDERS THAT THEY WANTED TO EARN MONEY, LEARN MARKETABLE SKILLS, AND GAIN RESPONSIBILITY. WHEN THEY RETURNED TO SCHOOL, THEY ALSO WANTED TO ATTEND SMALL CLASSES WITH TEACHERS WHO CARED ABOUT THEM, AND THEY WANTED HELP MAKING HARD DECISIONS. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF OPERATIONS, THE SEE FOREVER FOUNDATION HAS REFINED ITS MISSION TO CREATE LEARNING COMMUNITIES IN LOWER INCOME URBAN AREAS WHERE ALL STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SUCCEEDED IN TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS, CAN REACH THEIR POTENTIAL AND PREPARE FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND A LIFETIME OF SUCCESS. TO FURTHER ITS MISSION, THE FOUNDATION MANAGES THREE SCHOOLS INSIDE SECURE FACILITIES; NEW BEGINNINGS, YOUTH SERVICES CENTER, AND DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, WHICH PROVIDE CORE ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION SCHOOL PROGRAMMING; GED AND SAT PREP CLASSES; COMPUTER SKILLS COURSES; COLLEGE TOURS, AND OTHER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
