Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To prepare elementary and middle school youth for success in high school and life by improving their academic performance and life skills; and engaging them and their parents in intensive, multi-year, and research-based out-of-school time and parental engagement programs.

  • The Fishing Schools (TFS) afterschool program improves students academic performance and life skills, and develops their ability to attain personal goals. TFS provides Common Core-aligned STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) and literacy activities to help participants apply math and reading concepts, increase exposure to science, and develop critical thinking skills. Students also participate in life skills activities, college and career explorations, and enrichment clubs. TFS parent engagement program supports parents and guardians actively engaging in their students academic development. We served up to 275 youth and their families at three partner schools during the 2022-23 school year. The Fishing Schools (TFS) summer camp is a high quality, intensive program, offered at no cost to our students and families, in which participants receive five weeks of support to build and maintain academic and social skills in an effort to prevent summer learning loss. Students participate in interactive, engaging programming focusing on global cultures and communities, educating students about the world around them and their roles in it. Students are also engaged in college and career-based programming, co-curricular experiences, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities, and reading and math support. We served more than 75 students and their families at two partner sites during 2023 summer camp.

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.
