Overview
Mission
Our Mission: The Intercultural Community Center supports and improves the lives of low-income families by providing health, social and educational opportunities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Intercultural Community Center's Power School Summer and Afterschool programs served over 120 students, grades 3 thru 8, in 2024. Power School programs are designed to address specific needs of refugee, immigrant, and low-income families. Curriculum support is designed to provide resources for children of moderate economic means while helping ELLs (English Language Learners) gain English fluency, solidify academic gains and develop social skills in a fun, low-pressure earning environment. The goal is to give these students the added support to be life-long learners and contributing citizens by capitalizing on the many skills and talents they already have. Because our student population comes to us with a wide range of English ability, we strive to provide differentiated education based on our students' previous exposure to academics. Power Schools offers instruction to enhance reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, grade-appropriate mathematics, sciences, social studies, and also introduces life skills like cooking, job interviews, how to manage money, and basic cultural adaptation. Afterschool activities such as mentoring, tutoring and homework help target students whose academic performance needs improvement. The Power School Summer Programs works to stem the loss of English that can happen over the summer by providing an academically rigorous curriculum, but also includes recreation, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and weekly field trips.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 72% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
