Our project-based social-emotional learning curriculum is designed to help children build essential self-esteem as different learners, value their unique minds, and inspire them to advocate for their needs in the classroom. Eye to Eye’s nationwide chapters partner with parents, communities, schools, and universities to create a network of advocates to surround and nurture each child. Students with learning and attention differences are welcomed into a community that helps them transform their self image from one of self-doubt to empowerment — and even their own version of greatness — by near-peers who face many of the same challenges. With our proven model, we are reversing these devastating statistics.

Eye to Eye became a national nonprofit organization with its first two staff members who scaled it from David’s kitchen table. 2013 1998 In 1998, David Flink organized a group of college students with learning differences from Brown University to meet with similarly-identified Fox Point Elementary students. These Brown students called themselves Project Eye to Eye. The program had one simple goal: to give students hope. Eye to Eye begins using various media channels to expand its reach, changing hearts and minds more broadly. This culture change work will lay the groundwork for our PSA at the Indy 500 and our billboard in Times Square. Soon Eye to Eye had 2015 2011 2010 Eye to Eye’s Mentoring Program has now reached 50 schools in 12 states! Eye to Eye officially launches its outreach initiatives — creating the Eye to Eye Diplomats.

Uniting new and old program alumni, the Eye to Eye Alumn’Eye were born! From fundraising to mentoring our current students, the Eye to Eye Alumn’Eye are constantly looking for ways to stay involved and drive the movement forward.

In order to do that as quickly as possible, the Eye to Eye App: EMPOWER Different Learners was created in partnership with ArcTouch. This app became an empowerment tool for students and an opportunity for them to create an advocacy plan to share with parents and educators. Looking Ahead 2016 As goals and dreams for Eye to Eye grew, so did our location needs. Realizing that we needed to reach more students in more schools in new locations, Eye to Eye began the search for a second home on the West Coast. An office in San Francisco would allow us to target new communities that would benefit from our social-emotional learning curriculum. 2018 Today, Eye to Eye is in 170 schools and 24 states with active involvement in all 50 states. Our program now reaches new audiences through Learn Different Days— a day of community, mentorship, learning, art, and fun. This year, research with UCSF’s BrainLENs Lab will be published showcasing the positive outcomes of Eye to Eye’s Mentoring Program. 2020 Eye to Eye has big dreams and we want you to come along for the ride. We’re in an exciting period of growth and the need to establish new partnerships with school leaders, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and corporations is more critical than ever. By 2020, Eye to Eye will scale our mentoring program to reach 4,500 students annually. At the same time, our outreach programs will reach more than 165,000 each year. Combined, these efforts will transform perceptions of learning and attention issues for millions.

THE RESEARCH Eye to Eye is proud to be finishing an extensive research study with the University of California —San Francisco’s BrainLENS Lab. Dr. Fumiko Hoeft and her team evaluated the effects of one-to-one mentoring on social-emotional learning in adolescents with learning and attention issues. Three years ago, early research found that students with learning differences had less growth mindset, more symptoms of depression, and felt less connected to their peers. The research team determined that there was a “strong need for programs to promote social-emotional competencies in LD.” The BrainLENS Lab is examining changes in social-emotional profiles. This process is done through their “social-emotional toolkit” which is a compilation of surveys and questionnaires used to obtain one’s social-emotional profile. Constructs measured include resiliency, mindset, motivation, stigma consciousness, and other characteristics linked to social-emotional resilience. “Our research revealed statistically significant improvements for students with learning differences participating in Eye to Eye’s Mentorship Program.” -Dr. Fumiko Hoeft EYE TO EYE ANNUAL REPORT 2018| PAGE 10 ׉ 7cassandra://plV5QC7vf0T8576bVFN84DzGWu9oWEtKFbachDHyu7U[`[@׉ElTHE FINDINGS Strong need for programs with socialemotional competencies to prevent negative outcomes in students with learning differences. Eye to Eye may protect students from feeling disconnected amongst peers who do not have a learning difference. When a student participates in Eye to Eye, they feel more comfortable in identifying with their learning difference. Eye to Eye may help increase a student’s self-esteem, putting them statistically significantly higher in their personal growth than students without learning differences. Depressive symptoms in students are more likely to decrease as their self-esteem increases. Without Eye to Eye, many students with learning differences believe their intelligence is less capable of change. Eye to Eye may help students begin to believe in a growth mindset.

Then, the Andlinger family’s view on learning differences was flipped upside down — from seemingly impossible to overcome, to a gift and superpower that should be celebrated. Tristan has been a volunteer at Eye to Eye events like the Young Leaders Organizing Institute and the Diplomats Summit sharing his skills in media and photography, but most importantly his voice as a different learner. Jeanne and her family have been proud supporters and ambassadors of our work since 2013, which led to their recognition as Eye to Eye’s 2018 Community Champion Recipient. Together, we’ve accomplished so much to support families across the country in reducing the stigma around learning differences.

He often heard, ‘You just aren’t trying hard enough.’ He started to believe it. “If when I was young, I met someone who had an LD and was successful in school that would have changed my life. I want to be that person for younger people.” It wasn’t until sixth grade, through the keen observations of a good friend with the same struggles, that Langston was identified as a different learner with dysgraphia. Although he could finally put a name to his challenges, the label felt foreign and alienating. He found motivation through the continual support of his mother. “No matter the subject, or how ungrateful or annoying I was, she was always there,” he shared. Six years later, Langston’s teacher told him about a new program coming to the school to help mentor kids struggling with learning and attention issues. Remembering how isolated he felt at twelve—when he knew only one other student with learning differences—he jumped at the opportunity to become a part of the Eye to Eye community. This year, during the Young Leaders Organizing Institute, Langston was honored with the Jess Ettenger Award for his exceptional enthusiasm, compassion, and spirit. ׉ 7cassandra://8qKx6EPOn-KHcKckBle7k6FbOdh4lna2SLxUnKbNmmwb`[@׉EALUMN’EYE GIVING BACK Eye to Eye was proud to honor two incredible Alumn’Eye during our 2018 Spring Into Greatness Event. Both Nadine Abraham, who is a founding member of the Alumn’Eye Board and Stephen Neidich who was Eye to Eye’s 2015 Artist in Residence have paid it forward to the Eye to Eye community. Stephen Neidich “I’m lucky because I have the support of parents who when I was identified with a learning disability were willing to understand what I was going through. Most people do not have access to the resources that my family did. That is where Eye to Eye comes in. To give support and a voice to the kids who could and very often are simply overlooked. Through advocating an approach through arts rather than more traditional methods, I believe that Eye to Eye is helping push us towards seeing the brilliance in our differences.” -Stephen Neidich “As an original member of the Eye to Eye Alumn’Eye Board, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to elevate student stories and share Eye to Eye’s powerful message. I have seen firsthand how Eye to Eye changes lives, including mine, and am so proud to be part of such an empowering organization. I am honored to be recognized as one of the 2018 Alumn’Eye Heroes of the Year, and look forward to continuing to contribute to this great work together.” -Nadine Abraham EYE TO EYE ANNUAL REPORT 2018| PAGE 21 Nadine Abraham ׉ 7cassandra://Vv7EfUo8jN9RpZqDn6yrNzSHtZjoNJB_RqLmkcTobl4S`[@[@בCטu׉׉ 7cassandra://299pX8MFiUskfC7gKesFzW15oi-hLuI8TTfxb2uWAB4`iq׉ 7cassandra://fBUQgzD2Km897H3-EqJt1zIX8z9wOqCWv93bs0j63xwA`׉ 7cassandra://mEwxZgGy86Fcm2B5QHeStIAU4vvfd8VDxA95BHv0KrEB`׉ 7cassandra://H3GNO1gAIx_W2jNDhaeLJfLJ_RUBXMCsh3dxz61UcrcB*͠ [@ 8טu׉׉ 7cassandra://EKpuqfZD_in7dgCqpuVory1VPbQcVvzRziqp86oZQSg`iq׉ 7cassandra://RBKKV4Do5bhry8T2SIZ2cjhT-dbV7jVeTLRg7K0VEy4`׉ 7cassandra://WqLiQ5ujAMW5zEaslntaWKl3QdICJ2F9MzdUaABY8zIQ`׉ 7cassandra://naOVbSifrZK2b7eOLH8-3rWWfxUwV_lxqSNNK3R0kuM: ͠ [@ 9נ[@ 3gp9׉HIhttps://eyetoeyenational.org/assets/downloads/2018-Audited-Financials.pdfGׁ ׁ rנ[@ 4{gn9׉HIhttps://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16067Gׁ ׁ rנ[@ 5 aw9׉H,https://www.guidestar.org/profile/51-0570498Gׁ ׁ rנ[@ 6iL̉9׉Hhttps://www.bbb.org/greater-san-francisco/Charity-Reviews/charity-human-services-ie-assistance-to-individuals-and-families/eye-to-eye-inc-in-berkeley-ca-880216#sealclickGׁ ׁ rנ[@ 7̍̀9׉Hhttp://www.thenonprofittimes.com/news-articles/leadership-stability-organizational-flexibility-fundamental-2018-top-nonprofits-work/Gׁ ׁ rנ[@ Ay̬9ׁHhttp://eyetoeyenational.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉EACCOUNTABILITY Our promise to our students is to be here for them when they need us.
