Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impacting Program

“Capacity: PARTI operates Monday Saturday. Program Coordinators have 4 years of college experience and lived experience. Project and contracted staff typically are program alumni and/or live in target communities served. Operation Leadership: 4 Program Coordinators, 2 Project leaders, College mentors, and Youth leaders. In 2024, PARTI expanded its impact across multiple counties in California, providing services in Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Los Angeles County, and San Mateo County. Our work specifically targeted underserved and system-impacted communities, particularly focusing on African American, Latino, Pacific Islander, and other BIPOC youth aged 12-24. These populations often experience disparities in health, education, and access to supportive community-based resources. PARTI served these regions through youth-led initiatives, mentoring programs, cultural and performing arts events, youth workforce readiness activities, civic engagement opportunities, and anti-bullying and violence prevention campaigns. All activities were designed to promote leadership, safety, racial equity, and wellness among youth from economically and socially marginalized backgrounds. 2025 Capacity Building Expansion Alameda County Health Department PARTI has secured a $300,000 Capacity Building Grant from the Alameda County Health Department, with the first funding installment scheduled for 2025. This grant will enable us to enhance our infrastructure, expand staff capacity, and increase the scale of our programming in Alameda County. It will also support our strategic goals to strengthen racial equity practices, engage deeper with local youth, and develop sustainable health and wellness programs in partnership with county agencies. Operations and Community-Based Leadership PARTI operates programming Monday through Saturday, with flexible engagement hours to accommodate youth schedules and community needs. Our organizational structure prioritizes culturally responsive leadership and lived experience: Program Coordinators: 4 experienced leaders, each with at least 4 years of college education and direct lived experience in the issues facing our target communities. Project Leaders and Contracted Staff: Many of our project and contracted staff are former program alumni, reflecting a strong commitment to community investment and leadership development. They also reside within the same communities they serve, ensuring trust, cultural relevancy, and local insight. College Mentors: Provide academic guidance and peer mentoring to high school and transitional age youth. Youth Leaders: Central to our mission, youth leaders are empowered to co-design, co-lead, and evaluate program activities, shaping their communities through direct action and engagement. PARTIs leadership model ensures a community-embedded, youth-driven approach that cultivates lifelong changemakers equipped with the tools to address systemic inequities and build healthy, empowered communities.”

“Use Inuit Quickbooks Financial Management Using Intuit QuickBooks PARTI uses Intuit QuickBooks as its core financial management system to ensure transparent, accurate, and efficient financial operations. This system supports day-to-day fiscal management as well as long-term financial planning and reporting. 1. Bank Reconciliation On a monthly basis, we reconcile all bank accounts and credit card statements using QuickBooks' bank reconciliation tools. Transactions are matched automatically or manually against entries in the system to ensure accuracy between the bank and internal records. Any discrepancies are flagged, investigated, and corrected to maintain audit-ready records. 2. Statement of Financial Position QuickBooks generates a Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) which reflects PARTIs financial health at a specific point in time. This report outlines assets, liabilities, and net assets, and is reviewed monthly to track our cash reserves, outstanding obligations, and available funds. It allows leadership to make informed decisions about budgeting, fundraising, and program expansion. 3. Monitoring Spending and Budget vs. Actual We track all expenses and income by funding source, grant, program, and category (e.g., payroll, event expenses, supplies). QuickBooks budget vs. actual reports allow us to monitor real-time spending compared to approved budgets. This enables program staff and leadership to manage costs effectively and ensures compliance with grant requirements. 4. Board Oversight and Monthly Reporting Financial statementsincluding the Statement of Financial Position, Income Statement (Profit and Loss), and Budget-to-Actual Reportsare compiled monthly. These reports are presented to the Board of Directors for review, ensuring transparency and alignment with strategic goals. Any variances or budget concerns are discussed, and the Board provides feedback and oversight to support fiscal accountability.”
