Activities or mission (Part I)

MERCY STREET EXISTS TO CULTIVATE MUTUALLY TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH (CONT. ON SCHEDULE O) INNER-CITY YOUTH THROUGH CHRISTIAN MENTORSHIP.

  • MERCY STREET SPORTS: OUR SPORTS LEAGUES PROVIDE A POSITIVE OUTLET FOR YOUTH IN WEST AND SOUTH DALLAS DURING THEIR CRITICAL OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME, AS WELL AS OFFER THE ACCESSIBILITY AND BENEFITS OF SPORTS TO THOSE WHO WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS TO ORGANIZED SPORTS. OUR SPORTS LEAGUES FOSTER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGY, TEAMWORK, RESILIENCE, GRIT, DETERMINATION, A COMPETITIVE SPIRIT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. MERCY STREET SERVED 1,780 YOUNG ATHLETES THIS REPORTING PERIOD THROUGH SOCCER, BASEBALL, FLAG-FOOTBALL, AND BASKETBALL.

    Expenses $1,577,183 · Grants $669 · Revenue $119,032

  • MERCY STREET MENTORING: MERCY STREET PROVIDES LONG-TERM, ONE-ON-ONE MENTORS TO EVERY CHILD IN OUR TARGET SCHOOLS WHO DESIRES TO HAVE ONE. THE CULTIVATION OF THESE MUTUALLY TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIPS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A 99% GRADUATION RATE IN RECENT YEARS. OUR MENTORING PROGRAM SERVED 119 YOUTH THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING AND 63 YOUTH THROUGH GROUP MENTORING THIS REPORTING PERIOD. CURRENT SOUTH DALLAS PARTNERS INCLUDE 3 SCHOOLS, 2 DALLAS HOUSING AUTHORITY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, AND 2 COMMUNITY PARTNERS. OUR MOST NOTABLE PROGRAM PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE: BRIDGE BUILDERS, BONTON FARMS, AND DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. OUR CLOSEST SCHOOL PARTNERS AT THIS TIME ARE H.S. THOMPSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, AND MADISON HIGH SCHOOL. WHILE SOUTH DALLAS IS 3X AS LARGE AS (CONT. ON SCH. O) WEST DALLAS, WE ARE FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS ON THE BONTON AND IDEAL NEIGHBORHOODS, AND WILL EXPAND OUR REACH CONSISTENTLY AS WE CONTINUE TO DEEPEN OUR EFFORTS IN SOUTH DALLAS. AS WE HAVE BEGUN SERVING YOUTH AT CHARLES RICE LEARNING CENTER AND H.S. THOMPSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE WILL EXPAND OUR REACH TO TWO NEW NEIGHBORHOODS (QUEEN CITY AND IDEAL NEIGHBORHOODS). WE ARE STRATEGICALLY LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR WORKING AT DADE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE ONLY MIDDLE SCHOOL IN SOUTH DALLAS.

    Expenses $429,926 · Grants $3,396 · Revenue $50

  • MERCY STREET LEADERSHIP: THROUGH THE MERCY STREET LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE, 34 STUDENTS THIS REPORTING PERIOD WERE PROVIDED WITH PAID INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOCUSED ON PREPARING THEM FOR LIFE AFTER GRADUATION.

WE EQUIP THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS WHO ARE ABLE TO BREAK CYCLES OF POVERTY, EXPERIENCE ECONOMIC MOBILITY, AND WHO ARE EMPOWERED TO TRANSFORM THEIR COMMUNITIES FROM WITHIN. THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY-CENTERED APPROACH, MERCY STREET IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH YOUTH BOTH IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS. MERCY STREET STUDENTS HAVE HIGHER GRADUATION (CONT. ON SCH. O)RATES, HIGHER GRADE LEVEL ADVANCEMENT RATES, LOWER TEEN PREGNANCY RATES, AND LOWER TEEN INCARCERATION RATES THAN THEIR PEERS.

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.
