Transcript of The Second Mile Annual Report 2010
Providing Children with Help and Hope
Mission StatementThe Second Mile challenges young people to achieve their potential as individuals and community members by providing opportunities for them to develop positive life skills and self-esteem as well as by providing education and support for parents and professionals addressing the needs of youth.
THE SECOND MILE ANNUAL REPORT 2010
Board Chairman Bob Poole and President/CEO Dr. Jack Raykovitz
A Year Like No Other
In this column last year, we wrote that “we anticipate that 2010 will continue to be challenging” and, indeed, it was – challenging like never before in our history. As in 2009, The Second Mile received more requests to help children and teens than ever. Unfortunately, unlike the previous year, in serving the children who needed us, we spent significantly more than we raised in 2010: we had a $228,000 loss in our net cash flow for operations. Thanks to you, our donors, spending more than we raise has been a rare occurrence in the history of The Second Mile, but last year, overall giving to all charities was down 11%. So we are very thankful that our Board has managed The Second Mile prudently, creating a “rainy day” fund for years such as this past one. The Second Mile was able to use that fund to provide the needed services.
Of course, we want to continue serving those children who have come to count on us, but we cannot continue to operate a deficit budget. The arithmetic is clear: $228,000 = our entire Leadership Institute or all 6 of our Friend Programs or 4 Challenge Program camp weeks.
In order to keep our commitments to those children who are now part of The Second Mile family, we need your help to make sure that this past year’s financials are an aberration in our history of supporting the children who need us. The children we serve have often experienced many broken promises in their young lives; that’s why our mantra has always been, “No broken promises, ever.” We need to continue to be the family they can count on!
You generously reached into your pockets and your purses last year and continue to do so, and that is certainly what makes it possible for so many children to count on us. But we know that you, too, want to make sure we return to a funding level this year that enables us to serve every child who is part of our family. Can you introduce the needs of Second Mile children to friends and family? Is there a business colleague who might be interested in sponsoring a Second Mile event or a corporation that might be willing to sponsor a camp week if you asked? This year, more than any other, we are asking for your help in connecting us to others, like you, who care
about children who need someone to “go the second mile” for them. Let us know if you need additional information from us or The Second Mile staff in order to do that.
Together, we can keep our promises.

You Help Change Children’s Lives…
A “THANK YOU” FOR YOUR IMPACT FROM TWO SECOND MILE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PARTICIPANTS
“During high school, I participated in The Second
Mile Leadership Institute. Through the program,
I learned leadership skills and ways I can give
back to my school and community. The program
gave me confidence to run for my high school’s
student council, where I was elected Vice
President during my senior year, and I was also
selected to as Salutatorian at my graduation
ceremony. Now, as a freshman at Penn State University, I am
looking forward to expanding my leadership skills and meeting
new people. I would not have had the skills or confidence to do
any of this without The Second Mile. Thank you for all that you
have done for me.” -Poi Veng Suon
“Staff who work with students in the Migrant
Education Program nominated me for a
wonderful opportunity – to participate in
The Second Mile’s Leadership Institute. The
Second Mile motivated me to learn how to be
courageous, confident, and resilient, and taught
me the importance of staying positive in order
to be a great leader. The Institute also helped
improve my social skills as my team initiated a project in our
schools, a Celebration of Diversity. I also decided to serve others
in ways beyond our team project: the program motivated me to
spend time doing community service by becoming a companion
to the elderly and disabled and by picking up trash to beautify
our neighborhood. The Second Mile taught me that I can have an
impact on our society, the environment and my community. As
a freshman at Penn State University Park, I want to continue to
give back by volunteering to educate and encourage my peers to
accomplish their goals. I know that without the support of The
Second Mile, I would not have gotten this far.” -Theara Lanh
The Arthur C. and Evelyn M. Sandusky Society recognizes those individuals who have made an estate provision for, or a planned or deferred gift commitment to, The Second Mile. These gift commitments could include a bequest in a will or living trust, the designation of The Second Mile as
the beneficiary of a retirement plan, a charitable remainder trust, the gift of a life insurance policy naming The Second Mile as beneficiary, and/or the execution of an estate note. We wish to thank the members of this society for providing a foundation for the future of our organization.

“We are very proud to
support The Second
Mile in their endeavors
to make life better for
today’s youth. The
opportunity to change
lives and better prepare
our youth for life is very
exciting, and the programs that The Second Mile offers
truly have a big impact on young people when they need
help most.
One of the ways that The Second Mile’s impact can
continue to grow is if you plan to make a gift to the Arthur
C. and Evelyn M. Sandusky Society and challenge others
in the community to join us. We look forward to the year
ahead and welcome you to be a part of this wonderful
organization, making it a part of your estate planning.”

Prevention ProgramsNittany Lion Tips• Nittany Lion Tips are sports trading cards featuring short educational or
motivational messages from Penn State athletes. These are timely and diverse messages that pertain to issues of normal development. Each set consists of 25 unique Tips from student-athletes on the football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s gymnastics, and wrestling teams. Nittany Lion Tips have been distributed by more than 1,755 school counselors and other youth-service professionals to students in elementary and middle school. Counselors reported that, on average, they used the program with 115 students. Each of the two annual additions are accompanied with a facilitators guide, which offers further concepts and activities that expand on the ideas found on the cards.
Second Mile Leadership Institute• The Second Mile Leadership Institute teaches, encourages, and empowers students
from across Pennsylvania to make a difference in their school communities. Each spring, teams of high school sophomores, along with faculty mentors, attend a four-day conference featuring workshops and guest speakers that focus on topics ranging from fundraising and publicity to group function and communication styles. After the Institute, students return home to carry out a service project that they planned during the conference. In 2010, 322 participants representing 62 high schools attended the Institute and are now working on a broad range of projects that will improve their communities.
“Thank you for providing this wonderful resource. I used them as a reward during
Red Ribbon week this year.”
—School Counselor from Lackawanna County
“I want to thank you for the Tips program. We find it very
helpful, and the children love the sports cards.”
—School Counselor from Erie County
Nittany Lion Tips’ athletes share important messages with youth on the card backs.
“This has been such a valuable experience for our students
and even for me as a teacher. The students were able to
grow an amazing amount in only four days. The staff made it
so productive and used the time so efficiently.
They were creative and dynamic with the kids,
good role models, flexible when they needed
to be, and always seemed to know the right
thing to say to get through to the kids. We
cannot wait to implement our project and
apply what we all have learned.”
—Faculty Mentor from Delaware County
The Angel SocietyThe Second Mile thanks the members of the Angel Society—those individuals, organizations,
foundations, and corporations that made an annual gift equal to or greater than $2,000 during
fiscal year 9/1/2009 through 8/31/2010. We also recognize here all donors who made an annual
gift of more than $500, providing an Angel Scholarship through their annual support. You all are
truly “the wind beneath the wings” of Second Mile children. Thank you for helping them soar.

PEAK• Prevention: Education and Awareness for Kids (PEAK) is a series of videotapes
and a play kit that highlight issues such as peer pressure, rejection, and self-esteem. There are currently three modules available to educators, with more than 2,075 school counselors currently using them. All modules are accompanied with facilitators’ guides that provide additional opportunities to further apply the information from the modules.
Early Intervention ProgramsChallenge• This year, The Second Mile helped 782 young people develop the skills they need
to succeed through its Challenge Program. During their week-long session of residence, Challenge Program participants set behavior and academic goals and decide on community service projects for the upcoming school year. Through encouragement and a positive environment, collegiate counselors, professional staff, and volunteers guide the children to work on self-awareness and skills in conflict resolution and effective communication, as well as goal setting.
“We used this kit during anti-bullying
week. The kids really took a lot from
it, and we had some interesting
class discussions. I feel like several
of the kids made a breakthrough
by connecting their actions to the
characters in the play.”
—Teacher from Allegheny County
“The kids enjoyed acting out the play
and rotating who got to be each
character. Thank you so much for
providing this program to schools
at no cost.”
—School Counselor from

• During the following year, participants use these new skills to earn their way back to the Challenge Program by meeting their goals. The Second Mile offers year-round support to participants, their families, and their counselors through written, phone, or in-person contact to assist in the child’s efforts to achieve his or her goals. During the 2009-2010 school year, The Second Mile staff made 9,308 contacts to participants and 6,924 contacts to school counselors to help them stay connected to the program and focused on their goals. We also held 32 mid-year events, attended by 1,295 participants and their families.
• In 2010, 536 past participants who had earned their way back to residential weeks received achievement certificates and 172 children were given special recognition for their community service.
Friend Fitness• Through mentoring and individual strength training exercises, The Friend
Fitness Program helps adolescents achieve personal, academic, and fitness goals. In 2010 the Friend Fitness Program provided opportunities for improvement to 119 teens at sites located in Centre and Chester Counties. During bi-weekly sessions, 73 adult mentors assisted students in working on their goals while providing positive encouragement. This Program also includes social and team-building activities such as picnics, group workouts, and luncheons for students and mentors.
“The Second Mile has changed my life. I don’t pre-judge
others anymore. I can make friends easily and, most
importantly, have fun.”
—Participant from Berks County
“I am switching jobs, but I will continue to refer kids
to the Challenge Program because it is so valuable
to the kids who are in it.
It’s a great program!”
—Youth Service Professional from Juniata County
“My favorite thing about the Friend Fitness program is the fun
and friendly environment. My mentor really helps me stay
motivated and has given me great advice over the years.”

Friend• The Friend Program is a mentorship program that joins together a collegiate volunteer
with an elementary student in need of extra support to participate in healthy, educational activities. The Friend Program is currently available at six sites: Blair County, Centre Region, Clinton County, Lancaster County, Lehigh Valley, and the Southeast Region. Over the past year, 626 Young Friends, 155 adult volunteers, and 355 student volunteers participated in 55 events, including picnics, holiday parties, swimming, and bowling. Counselors who refer kids to the program have cited improved social skills, goal-directed behavior, and attention to academics as some of the benefits of this program.
Community-Based ProgramsChildren’s Fund-Grants, Recognition, and Scholarships• The Children’s Fund offers support by providing scholarships, grants, and community
service awards to youth across the Commonwealth. Children’s Fund Grants seek to offer assistance that other agencies or government programs may not provide. Grants are given for needs like school supplies and extra curricular activity registration fees. Eighty-three (83) young people were awarded grants this past year, while hundreds of additional children received non-monetary grants, such as clothing, through in-kind donations. In addition, former Second Mile participants have the opportunity to receive Post-Secondary Scholarships to assist with school-related expenses. Last year, The Second Mile awarded 52 such scholarships. Finally, through Community Service Awards, The Second Mile recognizes high school seniors for their exemplary commitment to community service. Last year, 12 seniors were awarded a certificate and savings bond for their service of others.

“I am truly honored to be one of The Second
Mile’s scholarship recipients. I participated in
the Challenge Program for seven years, earning
my way back to camp each year and eventually
serving as a camp ‘Leader.’ The Second Mile
prepared me with the skills and confidence to
get me where I am today – attending community
college and volunteering at our local Humane
Society. The Second Mile taught me goal
setting, teamwork, and leadership skills and
gave me self-confidence. I know my education
is essential, and without generous people like
you, community college wouldn’t be possible. I
sincerely thank you for this opportunity so that
I can make a difference in the lives of others –
and animals – on a grander scale in the future.”

Foster Family Support• In partnership with Pennsylvania Children and Youth
Agencies, The Second Mile’s Foster Family Program works to recruit and retain foster parents. Through the use of tools aimed at attracting foster parents, recognizing outstanding foster parents, and offering recreational activities for foster families, more than 4,000 foster family members benefited from this program in 2010. These family members represented 33 counties and took part in 69 recreation events, all at no cost to them. Among these events were multi-county activities held at sites including Hersheypark, Allenberry Playhouse, Knoebels, and Lakemont Park.
Counseling and Referral• The Second Mile offers counseling services and provides referrals to outside
professionals and agencies in cases where needs fall outside of the scope of existing Second Mile programs. In 2010, the Second Mile was able to refer 124 young people to appropriate sources of support. Additionally 82 young people received 395 counseling sessions through the State office.

Allenberry Playhouse thoroughly! We like to
do different activities with our kids like this.
Great job!”

We hope to be invited back again next year!”

“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.”
This quote very aptly describes how our work at The Second Mile is accomplished. We are fortunate to have so many friends, donors, and volunteers to help children and families. They give of their time and their treasure. Often times, they give of goods and services.
In-kind donations, such as event tickets, supplies for program activities, and transportation of participants, directly impact the children and families served by The Second Mile. Other donations offset operating costs of programs and special events, allowing a larger percentage of money raised to go to Second Mile programs. Donations this year have included anything from equipment storage space and printing services to special event prizes and meals. In-kind sponsors who contributed to special events were acknowledged previously in conjunction with those events. Here, we would like to highlight additional in-kind donors who contributed goods or services valued at $1,000 or more this past fiscal year. In 2010, The Second Mile received $406,828 through in-kind donations.
