Our History… In 1991, with the support of the Anne E. Casey Foundation, the board and administration of the Lawrence Youth Commission (LYC) created the entity, now known as Lawrence Family Development, Inc. (LFD, Inc.), a 501(c)3 non‐profit organization. LFD, Inc. has obtained funding to launch several promising pilot projects in community education and leadership development. Almost 30 years later, the spirit of these projects is still found in Lawrence Family Development’s programming as well as the work of other non‐profits in the City of Lawrence. Some of those projects included… a Career Center which offered after‐school programs—such as, Proyecto Alcance and Project Reach to reduce the drop‐out rate and support high school students’ paths TO higher education. In addition to career awareness information and life skills, academic support and English as a Second Language (ESL) the Career Center launched City CORE, one of the first five AmeriCorps programs in Massachusetts. These projects provided the roots for today’s LFD, Inc. SISU Youth Programs. an Adult Leadership Development Program (ALDP) helped create a new generation of leaders immersed in the heritage and culture of the City’s immigrant community. The goal of the ALDP was to provide newcomer residents with the skills and confidence to serve as board members on local non‐profit organizations. The ALDP would later provide a foundation for Community In‐Roads (formerly knowns as Jericho Road) and is known today as LFD, Inc.’s Maria del Pilar Quintana Family Center. the Parent Mobilization Project (PMP) hosted workshops led by a core of Latino parents that “asked the right questions.” The PMP recruited and trained hundreds of Latino parents for greater awareness of their rights and responsibilities as new Americans. At kitchen tables and living rooms in almost every neighborhood of Lawrence, trained parents strengthened family life and built community cohesiveness and purpose. This mobilization became the catalyst for the creation of the Lawrence Family Development Charter School and was the foundation for Lawrence Community Works’ Parent Roundtable Project.

Our Evolution...building on the past to respond to the needs of today... In 1992, Lawrence Family Development, Inc. (LFD) received its first grant from Shawmut Bank. With a foundation to build on, LFD continues to develop and operate programs of the highest quality to meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations in Lawrence. Lessons learned from the Career Center and AmeriCorps project and the urgent need to offer an education/ workplace program for seriously at‐risk youth led to the creation of YouthBuild‐Lawrence. Now, in its twenty‐fourth cycle, YouthBuild‐Lawrence continues to prepare young adults to earn their HiSET, gain job readiness skills, develop self‐confidence and feel ownership in their community through building homes for low‐income Lawrence families. The success of YouthBuild‐Lawrence laid the foundation for LFD to manage the City’s Safe and Successful Youth Initiative grant program and launch the SISU Youth Development program. Building on the Adult Leadership Development Program and the Parent Mobilization Project (PMP), LFD launched the Citizenship for New Americans’ Program with support from the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants (MIRA) and the Boston Foundation. Volunteer facilitators from the PMP became citizenship and ESL educators and assisted hundreds of immigrants to attain United States citizenship. In 2006 the Maria del Pilar Quintana Family Center opened as the permanent home for LFD’s adult education programs and continues to provide programming and support to the community of 1st generation Lawrencians. , 2nd and 3rd Through the PMP, the need for culturally‐appropriate and high quality public education in Lawrence rose to the forefront of the issues that Lawrence Family Development began to address. In the mid‐1990’s with the support of LFD’s Board, a group of committed educators and engaged parents submitted an application to open one of Massachusetts’ original fourteen public charter schools. Since its inception, the Lawrence Family Development Charter School has operated as an independent Massachusetts Public School District and is an example of the power of community engagement.

Raising Scholarships for Today’s Students and Endowing Scholarships for the Future In 2007, the LFD, Inc. Board of Directors established a Scholarship Fund and an Endowment Fund, with a plan to raise one‐million dollars over ten years. Named in honor of the founding Executive Director/Superintendent, Patricia F. Karl, this fund is invested by Essex County Community Foundation and was restricted until $1,000,000 was raised. In FY’18, LFD reached the $1M goal. These funds ensure that promising 8th graders are able to attend a private secondary school, if they choose. For the past ten years, PFK scholarship recipients have attended some of New England’s most prestigious and rigorous secondary schools. Providing the Places and Spaces where we are “developing thriving neighborhoods ” Today, facility assets of LFD are valued at over $11 million dollars and ensuresstabile, safe, welcoming structures that foster LFD’s mission and revitalizes its neighborhoods. Over the past two decades, the LFD board has supported new construction at 34 West Street and a seven‐million‐dollar purchase and rebuild at 400 and 404 Haverhill Street. In 2015, LFD added 10 Railroad Street to our real estate portfolio through a gift from the Fournier Family. In 2016, LFD completed the construction and sale of our 10th Street and broke ground at an empty lot on Jackson Street, which will become our 11th low‐to‐moderate‐income first‐time homebuyer. With our wealth of real estate, LFD has developed and fostered lasting relationships with community partners. For 20 years, LFD has leased building space and land and provided management services to the Lawrence Family Development Charter School. LFD also provides operating space and management services for the Lawrence Early Achievement Partnership (LEAP) program and Casa Dominicana, a small non‐profit dedicated to promoting Dominican culture in Lawrence. In partnership with a local real estate developer and partner, LFD completed renovations at 417 Canal Street. Transformed into a state‐of‐the‐art youth development center, 417 Canal Street now houses the LFD’s SISU program and Lawrence High School’s RISE Academy. single family home on West Lawrence home sold to a LFD, Inc. asked to take over Academy for Early Academic Preparation Opens 2012 management of Lawrence Youth Team and SSYI Program; LFDCS successfully re‐chartered. 2014 LFD , Inc. becomes approved Targeted Assistance Turnaround Operator for Massachusetts LFD, INC FY’2017‐2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 LFD, Inc. begins work on the SISU Center LFD, Inc. consolidates Alternative Youth Programs into the SISU program 2016 2017 LFD, Inc. opens the SISU Youth Development Center PAGE 3 FY’19

Alternative Youth Programs FY’18 was an exciting year for Lawrence Family Development. In August, we began contracting to provide social‐emotional supports to a group of Lawrence High School students and in October, we opened the SISU Youth Center. With support from some of our generous funders, we were able to pilot several new projects and expand our outreach and programming with young people in the City. Some of our highlights include… SISU Youth Center After two and one‐half years of construction, LFD, Inc. opened the SISU Youth Center in October, and hosted 150 community partners for a grand opening event in January. Services provided by the Center include: socialemotional supports, access to individual and group‐based mental and behavioral health services, alternative education, workforce development and subsidized employment, street outreach, strengths‐based case management, food service and pro‐social recreation. SWAG Through the support of the Lawrence Police Department and the Massachusetts Department of Probation, LFD launched the SISU Women’s Advocacy Group (SWAG) program in July of 2017. SWAG adapts a full array of SISU services to address the specific needs of the most proven risk young women in Lawrence. Targeted Gang Outreach In partnership with the Lawrence Mayor’s Office, SISU was able to expand targeted outreach and community engagement with high‐risk young people in the City. SISU hosted 5 neighborhood pop‐up parties in targeted hot spot parks throughout the City providing food, music, games and raffles for community members. The week before each party, SISU’s landscaping team would work with Lawrence DPW to clean and landscape the park. Alan grew up in a single parent home in the center of the City of Lawrence where gang activity is almost unbearable. He became part of a local gang early in his adolescence. “Raised by men in the gang” by the age of 19, his involvement with criminal activity led to multiple arrests and stints in DYS facilities. While in DYS custody, Alan received his high school diploma and was connected with the SISU Street Outreach Team. Although he was still heavily involved in the gang, he yearned for change and dreamed of going to college. However, like most of the young people that make their way to the SISU Center, Alan considered college to be more like a dream than a reality. 16% weapons-related incidents involving juveniles during the summer of 2017. LFD, INC FY’2017‐2018 ANNUAL REPORT When he was released from DYS custody, the SISU Outreach Team brought Alan to the SISU Center. Despite a challenging transition from lock up to the community, Alan has put his faith into the SISU process and is working to make his dreams a reality. Since his release, Alan has completed the GIFT program, is involved with the SISU Workforce Development program, is applying for jobs as a peer mentor and hopes to pursue a degree in social work.

In early January of 2018, Jade’s life changed dramatically when the police raided the home she shared with her mother and brother. The police found drugs, 2 guns, a lot of ammo and money. At the age of fifteen, Jade was wrapped up in the streets, involved in gangs and was the main suspect in the major criminal operation prompting the police raid. Her mother, brother and boyfriend were arrested as accessories, and Jade was placed in a group home in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. A week after the raid, Jade was introduced to Stephanie, the SISU Outreach Worker for the SWAG program. At the SISU Center, Jade has engaged with the SWAG program and is connecting to services she needs to succeed in her transition to adulthood. Through SWAG she was able to get a job and is studying for her driving permit. Jade continues to work with Steph every day and learn skills that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. She finished her freshman year of high school with grades of “A” in each area. Her main goals are to graduate from high school and not engage in the activities she had previously engaged in. She hopes to motivate other young women to transform their lifestyles. In just 4 short months with the SISU program, Juan has radically changed his life. When he came to the SISU program, Juan had lost all hope. He was facing 3 felony charges and up to five years in the Department of Corrections. The Lawrence Superior Court Judge who heard his case told him he needed to immediately stop all gang activity and change his life. Juan heeded the warning and took the “worst thing that could happen” and used it as an opportunity. Juan found hope at the SISU Center and dove headfirst into bettering himself. He has shown respect and commitment towards the SISU program and his community. Juan was found guilty of all three felonies and at his sentencing hearing, members of the SISU team spoke on his behalf. Juan was given probation, contingent upon his continued work towards changing his life. Juan’s tenacity earned him a coveted “Internship-toHire Opportunity” with the City of Lawrence’s ‘Water Department, where he hopes will become a full-time position.
