We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2022

• The Bezalel Project - a free after-school and summer program providing positive relationships, literacy support and dynamic arts programming to holistically empower Detroit youth between the ages of 8 and 13. To ensure social distancing precautions could be taken, the program was altered to run 5 days a week for a 2 hour session, with each session only serving 2 households at a time. During the summer, Bezalel becomes a day-camp, running 3 days a week for 5 hours each day. During our time with our youth, we provide academic tutoring and use arts, games, music, and drama as a means to encourage our youth to express themselves in healthy ways. This schoolyear, we are currently working with 18 kids in our neighborhood, and have in years past worked with around 25 students during the summer months.

• The Plug - a community through which High School students in Detroit are accompanied through the complexities of their lives, receiving connections to both vital community resources and the eternal hope of the Gospel. Staff members meet with High Schoolers in small-group settings, providing them with the chance to share openly about the struggles they may face, and to receive the encouragement and help they need. Once per week, all participants meet together to play games, and listen to talks and engage in relevant group discussion. A key piece of our work is assisting our youth in navigating and gaining access to the many resources that may be available to them. Examples include connecting our youth to food banks, shelters, financial health seminars/workshops, mental health professionals, primary care physicians, tutoring services, and literacy support. Approximate number of youth served: 25.

• StreetTeam Leadership Training Program - a 6-week leadership and job training program where High School students are given the tools to grow practically, socially and spiritually. We provide them with work experience, training in resume writing and job interviewing, training in financial literacy, opportunities to participate in outdoor adventure trips, activities to promote self-discovery and growth in self-confidence, leadership development, and one-on-one mentoring. Required participation is 5 days per week, full-time. This previous summer, due to Covid-19, the program moved to a virtual experience but we were able to partner with a city of Detroit initiative Grow Detroit Young Talent to ensure we provided each of the aforementioned program elements to our youth. Full-time participants: 19 youth

Approximate number of individuals served by DCO in these various ways is 200+.

As listed in Part VII of the 2022 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.
