IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom	0	Stepping Stones Project currently has six Coming of Age groups that serve 43 middle schoolers, grades 6-8, and one group that serves five high schoolers, grade 9. We have 12 paid group leaders who are paid for 10 hours per month, and one half-time staff member who works 20 hours per week. The Coming of Age groups meet on average two times per month, with a total average of six hours of face time per month. During the groups the youth participate in activities, council, and sometimes nature hikes. The groups go on a 2-3 day backpacking trip each summer. Each pair of group leaders has a mentor that they consult with one hour per month, and all leaders attend a two-hour peer consultation meeting twice every quarter.
