2014 ANNUAL REPORT Preparing ’s Teens for Success Working with After School Matters helped me learn more about college readiness, and it also helped me with writing resumes and job interviews. I think this program really helped me prepare for college.”

—After School Matters Teen 16 years old, Rogers Park LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & CEO Dear Friends & Supporters:

On behalf of the Board and staff of After School Matters, we are pleased to report that the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 will go down as one of the most accomplished years in our history. Since our founding, a great measure of our success has always been the number of teens we serve annually. We are delighted to report that in FY 2014 we provided more than 22,000 opportunities to more than 15,000 teens—most of them from under-resourced and underserved Chicago neighborhoods.

More teens are participating in our programs, which are extensive and designed to spur their curiosity while exposing them to a world of possibilities. Our teens enroll in programs where they learn to code, build aquaponics tanks, perform for audiences of thousands, and much more. Our instructors are experts in their fields but also compassionate and caring adults who are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of young people.

We are grateful for the generous support we receive from our public partners as well as from corporations, foundations, and individuals. As you read this report, please know that your philanthropic investment in After School Matters pays tremendous dividends. We will not be satisfied until every teen has the opportunity to succeed and fulfill their dreams.

When you spot an After School Matters teen wearing our signature purple t-shirt, we hope you will take pride in knowing that your investment is making a difference.

Thank you for all your support.

Sincerely,

Mellody Hobson Mary Ellen Caron Board Chair Chief Executive Officer

1 After School Matters

Close to 200,000 teenagers call Chicago their home. These teens are at the core of everything After School Matters does.

They are the reason we exist—from those we currently reach through our programs, to those we hope to reach next year and into the future. Our impact extends beyond a single teen — to their instructor, their family, their high school, their community, and ultimately to the entire city and beyond. But at the heart of it all is one teenager.

Chicago Teens Matter

Our teens have an overwhelming array of choices to make in the course of a single day.

These choices include what to do with their time once the school day is done, or even whether to go to school in the first place. A teen’s choices will inform what kind of a person they become —what kind of a student, friend, family member, neighbor —and what role they will play in the future of this city and our society. That’s a lot of responsibility on top of the many challenges our teens face every day.

The Community We Serve

More than 70% of After School Matters teens reside in Chicago’s 39 lowest- income communities (out of 77 total communities), and 87% of After School Matters teens receive free or reduced-price lunches.

6.9% of our teens come from Austin. This represents the largest community population within After School Matters. (Austin’s unemployment rate stood at 21% as of the 2010 Census.)

7.2% of our teens come from North and South Lawndale. (North Lawndale ranks 13th in NeighborhoodScout’s list of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in America.)

5% of our teens come from South Chicago and South Shore. (31.5% of South Shore households were living below the poverty level as of the 2010 Census.)

When teens participate in After School Matters programs, they discover what they’re capable of accomplishing.

Often, these accomplishments demand to be shared with a wider audience. After School Matters works to provide as many opportunities as possible to showcase Chicago’s teens at their best.

When teens find their voices, they empower themselves. Our programs provide a channel to get those voices heard, so that teens can encourage positive change in their communities.
