Neighborhood Ministries' mission is to break the cycle of poverty in inner-city Phoenix by holistically

loving, serving, and bringing life-transforming hope and power to families in the community.

Top accomplishments for 2017 include Angelica’s story:

Angelicia came to Neighborhood Ministries as a 17-year old mother struggling with substance

abuse in an unhealthy relationship. For these reasons, her children had been removed from

her care. When she found her way to Neighborhood Ministries, she was feeling helpless and defeated. She desperately

wanted to have her children back and to parent them well. She joined the Healing Journeys women’s group and

Neighbors at Work program, which helped her prepare for employment. She was very determined to succeed, but like

many first-time employees, she needed to develop a good work ethic and healthy workplace practices. She lost a

couple of jobs along the way as she learned how to handle her emotions in the work place. Angelica persisted, and

now has stable employment. Angelicia has outstanding sales skills and will go far in her career because of her sincerity

and dependability. In fact, she has almost completed a six-month training program to become a store manager. In this

role, Angelicia has even hired two other young women from Neighbors at Work and is mentoring them and teaching

them important employment skills. To top it off, Angelicia is sober and has been reunited with her children.

The Doe Fund’s flagship Ready, Willing & Able program is a nine-to-twelve month residential transitional work program, originally developed to address the homelessness crisis of the mid-1980s, that has proven to effectively

manage an individual’s return from prison: A study by Dr. Bruce Western at Harvard University showed that Ready, Willing & Able reduces future felony convictions by 60% and the risk of police contact of any kind by one-third. The program also saves the citizens of New York millions of dollars each year; an independent audit of the program concluded that for every dollar utilized by Ready, Willing & Able, the taxpayer saved $3.60. Today, the program’s three facilities provide housing and social services for 670 individuals, 400 of whom have chosen to engage with the program’s offerings and requirements. Ready, Willing & Able has produced 6,400 graduates since 1990.

At the program’s core is a culture of work, focused on the restoration of dignity through productivity. The opportunity to go to work and earn money starts on a trainee’s first day in the program. In a 2015 study produced by the Urban Institute, transitional jobs proved to be more effective at driving down poverty than any other utilized method.

The program that surrounds paid work is rigorous, requiring a regular 35 hour work week, participation in evening educational programs, payment of child support, abstinence from drugs and alcohol and other responsibilities. The program’s high expectations and “tough love” are balanced by support from staff who are often mentors to trainees: 70% of program employees are graduates of the program, themselves. The result is an internal, self-reinforcing culture of personal responsibility and earned success.

WINGS for Kids envisions a world where there is equity in academics, opportunity, and emotional

well-being for all children regardless of socioeconomic status. Their mission is to equip at-risk

kids with the social and emotional skills to succeed in school, stay in school, and thrive in life.

Top accomplishments of 2017 are:

As of 2017, WINGS has served 8,468 low-income kids in our after school programs.

School attendance analyses continue to show that WINGS kids attend school more often than non-WINGS kids.

For example, WINGS kids had a chronic absentee rate of 4% as opposed to 10-13% in the latter group.

WINGS for Kids received national press in March 2017 on CNN, in The Washington Post, in The Atlantic and on

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver when the White House's proposed budget cut all after school funding. In the

fall, Parade magazine selected WINGS for Kids as the South Carolina recipient for their list of 50 charities across

the US who are "doing good work" in a year of "really hard times."

Women’s Empowerment educates and empowers homeless women with the skills and

confidence necessary to get a job, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and regain a home for

themselves and their children.

Top accomplishments of 2017:

Celebrated 157 job placements of women, once homeless, who completed the job readiness program and

mastered the interview process with newfound confidence and professional resumes!

92% of graduates found housing in 2017. (Rental rates in Sacramento County have increased three times the

national average. With a vacancy rate of only 2% in many parts of our community, finding a safe place to call

home is an incredible feat for these women and their children.)

The Get A Job Kit was completely updated and redesigned. The Kit is an all -in-one career organizer that

provides tips and tools for every step of the job search process. After women graduate from the job-readiness

program, they have the opportunity to enroll in The Get A Job Kit paid training program. Homeless and jobless

women, who often face the greatest barriers to employment, gain skills in assembly, inventory control, and

quality assurance. With these new skills - and a recent job experience listed on their resume - graduates have

an even greater likelihood of finding sustainable employment.

“Two Wheels Make A World Of Difference.” globalbike was created with this statement in

2006, as six friends met in a coffee shop with $850 and the commitment to do something

meaningful and sustainable in the developing world. Since then, globalbike has used the

transformative power of bicycles to change lives and communities.

globalbike’s top achievements of 2017 include:

The first women-owned bike rental and repair program seeded and supported by globalbike in Tanzania continues

to experience high demand, and started to cover all its costs. Kazi na Sala’s women’s cooperative opened a bike

rental and repair shop in October 2016 in the rural village of Msitu wa Tembo. After one year, demand at the shop

exceeded the number of bikes available for rent, and profits reached a level that will allow the shop to take

responsibility for all costs in 2018. The women’s group places these profits in their joint savings, which they use to

prevent poverty and realize new business opportunities. The women use these funds to support their members during

times of economic hardship, or to provide loans to start or grow other women-owned small businesses.

In 2017, globalbike sponsored development of a second, women-owned bike rental and repair shop for

Enaboishu’s women’s cooperative in the village of Mikocheni.

In 2017, globalbike completed its first research survey across all three villages in which it works. Results from this

survey are informing program planning for 2018 and beyond, providing insight into the economies and needs of its

bike users.

Since 1990, Haiti Reforestation Partnership (previously known as Haiti Fund, Inc.) has been supporting

CODEP (COmprehensive DEvelopment Program), a rural community intent upon reclaiming its land

and its future. The Haiti Reforestation counts the following as their best accomplishments of 2017:

Rene Decime standing beside the first logs sawn from older trees that needed to be removed from a 20+ year old

forest. This picture demonstrates the move to the Partnership’s first forest management initiative and the formation

of a Forest Management Team. It purchased a small sawmill that is housed at the CODEP Depot on the Jacmel

Road.

The new Corn Mill, also housed at The Depot. This corn mill is used by every farmer in the area. The ability to take

corn and quickly make it into cornmeal is a life-changer for rural women. There is a small fee for each farmer

based on the diesel fuel used. While the sawmill is only used once or twice a week at this point, the corn mill is

used several times every day.

shows a small part of one road in one watershed. Planting is taking place in 4 watersheds

now and plans are to expand to a fifth watershed in 2018.

Shortly after John Leonard ’75 succumbed to his battle with lung cancer in January of 2015, his family

promised to find a way to honor John’s legacy. “We wanted to do something he would be proud of,” his

brother, Dan Leonard ’76, recalled. The combination of a lifelong passion and a family tradition became the

Fins Up Softball Tournament, which was held in honor of John Leonard at Merrimac Park. A partnership

with Saint Patrick High School was an easy decision as well, since the Shamrock tradition runs deep in the

Leonard family.

St. Patrick High School’s top accomplishments for 2017

The construction and dedication of a new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) facility--the

Brullo Family Science Center--and the launch of a STEAM program to ensure that students are prepared and inspired to

solve complex problems, to think creatively, and to pursue the in-demand STEAM careers of the future.

The initial "Pitch Night" for the new Incubator Entrepreneurship Program. Somewhat like the TV show, "Shark Tank,"
