Mission and programs · 2025

• Initiative for College Academics Now (I CAN) - is a college preparatory program aimed at encouraging inner-city high school students toward the path of post-secondary education. ICAN assists students with their current high school studies and helps them to effectively navigate their socio-emotional environmental landscape. ICAN provides students with opportunities for college credit procurement and industry-recognized certifications while in high school and follows students through the completion of their respective post-secondary education and career pathways. ICAN currently serves over 90 students and has aided in the enrollment and support of 30 plus first generation college students spanning institutions across the United States. Additionally, ICAN was awarded funding support from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and partnered with Youngstown City School District to provide afterschool programming at the high school level. ICAN also worked with the students from Eastern Gateway Community College, students from the Education Department at Youngstown State University, and Youngstown State University's Diversity Equity and Inclusion Department to provide additional support for program participants.

• O.U.R. Prep Academy is a post-secondary bridge program and an extension of our ICAN program. OUR Prep Academy functions as a separate phase of programming and targets high school graduates interested in pursuing post-secondary education as either students or student-athletes but due to their varying circumstances may not be ready for full-time enrollment. OUR Prep affords high school graduates in the year immediately following graduation with support and guidance to aid in their development academically, personally, socially, or athletically while preparing them to achieve at the next level. OUR Prep assisted with the application, FAFSA, and enrollment of over 20 students into college part-time with all students successfully transferring into full-time college students.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
