Returning to our 2 campus model this year, LaAmistad students received daily meals, snacks, and transportation at both sites with volunteers giving 2,668 hours in support of Animate students. Attendence was 94% and 74 interns, counselors and additional staff supported academic and recreational activities that included cultural projects (dance, art), sports (tennis, swimming, soccer), and emotional learning activities every day of programming at our host locations, Pace Academy and the Paideia School.

• Other programs include Birth to Five and Alumni.Birth to Five: LaAmistad's newest initiative served 28 children and 26 parents/caregivers through a curriculum adapted to be responsive (culturally and linguistically) in partnership with clinicians and researchers from the Marcus Autism Center, Emory University, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The evidence-based strategies and interventions were delivered by a bilingual speech-language pathologist and focused on fostering early literacy and communication skills, ensuring bilingual children start school ready to succeed. The innovative program focuses on 1) Motivation & Empowerment: Helping caregivers understand their role in fostering literacy in both Spanish and English; 2) Education & Tools: Equipping parents with strategies to support early language development; 3 )Practical Application: Modeling how caregivers can integrate literacy activities into daily routines; 4) Community Building: Connecting caregivers with others raising children of similar ages; and 5) Highlighting the importance of early screening for potential language/communication delays.Alumni: To track long-term program outcomes and extend its impact on its youth, LaAmistad entered its 2nd official year serving middle and high school students focused on academic support, personal and professional development, and college and career readiness. Highlights included campus tours at Emory University and University of Georgia, career exploration with Comcast and MailChimp, cultural exposure at the High Museum and the Fox Theatre, continued mentorship through a curated partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, participation in the Latino College and Career Fair, and enrichment outings that included fishing in Helen, GA and Atlanta Sky Hawks basketball games. 191 active alumni were served through both educational and enrichment opportunities tailored to stakeholder feedback. Community Engagement: LaAmistad participated in 29 major community resource and volunteer engagement events and hosted a Spring Fair at the LaAmistad Community Center, resulting in 100 hours of direct community contact in FY25.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

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.
