THE SECOND MILE
ANNUAL REPORT 2010
You're reading the first 10 out of 12 pages of this docs, please download or login to readmore.
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
Board Chairman Bob Poole and
President/CEO Dr. Jack Raykovitz
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.

“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

remainder trust, the gift of a life insurance policy

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

today’s youth. The

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.”

Nittany 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.
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
“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.

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.
“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

Challenge
•
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.

“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

•
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.
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.

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.
“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.”
—Kristin
Community-Based Programs
Children’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.

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.
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!”
—Foster Parent from Perry County
“Thank you for inviting us back to Lakemont
Park once again this year. We had so much
fun and this is a great opportunity to connect
with other foster families. Our children meet
other children in same situation as them.
Seeing the smiles on their faces is priceless!
We hope to be invited back again next year!”
Volunteers in our Foster Family
Support Progarm work hard to
get lunches set up for foster
families attending our event
at Hersheypark.
