Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TomTod Ideas empowers middle schoolers to explore and launch ideas that put empathy and imagination into action that help communities thrive. We do this through direct programming, project-based mentoring, and in-and-out of school learning adventures that celebrate middle schoolers for their inspiring attributes. We also equip other youth-serving organizations with training, curriculum, and best practices to walk alongside middle schoolers in this critical stage of development.

  • Camps: TomTod's summer day camps cultivate fun, curiosity, and creativity, inviting middle schoolers to explore and create ideas by immersing them in their community and interests. Using a design-thinking-infused approach, campers are empowered to explore their community, collaborate with adult leaders, imaginatively problem-solve with their friends, and prototype ideas with TomTod's staff. All TomTod camps connect middle schoolers deeply with their community by hosting camps in collaborative spaces with partnering organizations (such as park systems, universities, art galleries, and business owners). During TomTod camps, middle schoolers develop friendships, have fun, and make memories while growing essential skills. Every TomTod camp ends with a celebration of the campers' discoveries and creations with community members, friends, and families.

    Expenses $276,308 · Revenue $159,190

  • Classes: TomTod's school-based classes guide students through TomTod's community-centered design thinking process to explore and create ideas for their community. Through twelve weekly sessions offered over the course of a school semester, TomTod staff and partnering educators lead students through community projects tailored to each community that complement middle school learning standards. TomTod's classes center on student voice and focus on growing students' critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills. The goal of each TomTod class is for middle schoolers to use their newly acquired community knowledge and skills to formulate ideas that serve others. TomTod classes take the best of project-based, problem-based, place-based, and passion-based learning in ways that unlock middle schoolers' innate creativity and altruism.

    Expenses $209,435 · Revenue $128,119

  • Collabs: Outside of direct service, TomTod collaborates to provide curriculum, professional development, training, and more. Community Idea Quests connect our in-house-developed curriculum to specific communities, empowering partners to bring TomTod programming into their own schools with support from TomTod staff. These collaborative programs provide partners with a contextualized, developmentally-aligned curriculum as well as technical support through professional development, team training, and program monitoring and evaluation. TomTod also offers on-demand training for educators, youth development professionals, and community partners, sharing expertise in early adolescence best practices, covering a variety of topics including curriculum development, program design, pedagogical approaches, and continuous improvement models. Partners have included school districts, educational service centers, youth development organizations, out-of-school-time collaboratives, libraries, and more.

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.
