Real Change Requires

What bold moves have you made lately? My bold move: When I finished college, I had a liberal arts degree and no idea what I was going to do for a job. I took a leap, got on a plane, and came to Boston to attend The Katharine Gibbs School where I learned skills to enter the workforce as a secretary in the financial community. It was one of the most important moves of my life. Stevie Spina, MTW Supporter

In 2017 More than words delivered both

My bold move: I joined Hurricane Katrina relief efforts right after my Sophomore year in college, naïve and with no idea what to expect. It inspired me to stay and start a family in that community. Every day I look at my husband and children and am grateful I went for it!” Erin Dyson-Enamorado, Associate Director of Business Development, More Than Words

MORE THAN WORDS ANNUAL REPORT 2017 | 1

Dear Friends, At More Than Words, we ask our youth to be brave every day. They make bold moves on the job, in their studies, and in their personal lives—moves that can feel scary to a young person who has been failed by multiple systems and people. But we see their efforts pay off in life-changing ways.

Our youth deserve similar bravery from us. It’s been a challenging year in our country, one that has heightened fear and brought out courage in many. At More Than Words, we’re moving boldly forward in our mission to transform the lives of our community’s most vulnerable young people—those who’ve been in foster care, incarcerated, homeless, or out of school. This year, we are proud to have served more youth and earned more revenue from our youth-run businesses than ever before. And, most important of all, our youth achieved the most impressive outcomes in our 13 year history.

We’re now poised for our boldest move yet: doubling the size of our Boston site and expanding the number of young adults we serve by 60%. Right now, 5.5 million youth in the U.S. are disconnected from career

and educational opportunities. We feel great urgency to bring as many of them as possible into our social enterprise model, positioning them for independence as adults and empowering them to fulfill their potential. We are deeply grateful to all of you who have bravely stepped up to stand by us and our incredible young people as we prepare to move boldly forward in building a stronger More Than Words for the future.

My bold move: Professionally, I started selling books online with a few pissedoff teenage boys in a tiny office; that was the founding of More Than Words. Personally, I married my husband, who I met freshman year of college and we adopted two incredible siblings who inspire us and make us laugh daily. These moves require love, hard work, and never giving up. No matter what. Jodi Rosenbaum Tillinger, Founder & CEO, More Than Words

My bold move: At the age of 50, I signed up for a backcountry hiking course with the National Outdoor Leadership School. Nothing in my experience had prepared me for a 14-day climb over the Continental Divide with a 45 lbs. pack. I still carry what I learned about pushing through exhaustion and fear and about embracing the journey—even on a knife edge with an unwieldy pack.

ONE BOLD MOVE AFTER ANOTHER

MORE THAN WORDS GRADUATE, AGE 19, CURRENTLY EMPLOYED AS A MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANT On the day of the earthquake in Haiti, my childhood ended. I moved on my own to the United States to live with my brother but things didn’t improve. When I was fifteen, my brother’s girlfriend started physically abusing me. I survived the ordeal when a neighbor heard my cries and called the police. The Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) placed me in a foster home and my life improved tremendously. There have been many heroes who helped me along the way, like my foster mom, members of my church, and my

One of MTW’s boldest moves is to face ourselves and ask whether our model truly leads to long-term results. To answer this, we gather information at various points before, during, and after a young person’s completion of our program.

Youth Development Manager at More Than Words. When I first started at More Than Words I was really shy, and I didn’t know how to manage my attitude. In my 11 months in the program, I became more patient, and also mastered skills that I thought were too hard at first, like receiving books into the online inventory. My “you” job pushed me to want to finish high school, set goals for the future, and figure out what I want to do. The staff helped me with college applications and pushed me to speak up as a leader on the team. They also helped me move into independent living in Lowell. Another bold move for me! While I do go through periods where I experience flashbacks and depression, I am now more focused, ambitious, and determined to succeed. Since I graduated, More Than Words continued to help me with all the steps to get enrolled in college, like getting financial aid. In addition to working as a Mental Health Assistant,

A YEAR OF LIVING BOLDLY


My bold move: I have been passionate about my public service since 24 but I started off petrified of what people think of me, and of public speaking. I am a recovering alcoholic and summoned the courage to ask Marty Walsh to take me to my first AA meeting. This was the scariest thing I ever did, but the best thing I ever did for myself and my family, and it allowed me to move past my fears.

A Big Move in Waltham… Literally

In 2017, we streamlined operations by consolidating our two Waltham locations. We said goodbye to our original Moody Street store, and grew our Felton Street location to include direct retail space. We’re now growing our online inventory in Waltham, increasing our community presence with more pop-up shops out in the community, and growing our youth team.

BRAVERY MEANS NEVER GIVING UP

MORE THAN WORDS GRADUATE AGE 29, CURRENTLY EMPLOYED BY VERIZON I was born in Puerto Rico and grew up living with my dad. When I was fourteen he took me with him to Massachusetts. I didn’t know any English. After about a year he got arrested and I was put in foster care and went from home to home. I learned about More Than Words when I was 16 and living in a group home. At the time, MTW was just starting up in a little office in Waltham. I was one of the youth who helped open our first store on Moody Street. I learned efficiency, punctuality, and how to be professional. I learned how to work. I felt like I was really part of something—a feeling I’d never felt before. I really mattered. MTW really pushed me to get out of the streets, take school seriously, and make better choices. I graduated from More Than Words and High School. I went straight to college, getting my associates degree at Salem State and then my bachelors at Springfield College. But despite all my success and positive choices, I landed in prison after one moment of not thinking right. I wish every day that I could undo that moment. I used my time in prison to continue to grow and change, and also reconnected with my biological mom. Jodi at MTW was one of two people who visited me. After prison I have gotten my life on track. I have gone back to school to study business, and I am working as a regional training manager for Verizon. I got married and have a beautiful son. I am where I am because of brave moves, like never leaving school

“I have seen both sides of this world; the good and the bad. More Than Words re-opened my eyes.” 12 | MORE THAN WORDS ANNUAL REPORT 2017

regardless of where I had to sleep. Whether I was living in a foster home, on a park bench, or in prison: I went to school dirty but I never stopped learning. And I stayed in touch with Jodi through it all, with letters, phone calls, and visits. I brought my son to the More Than Words summer barbeque in 2017 to meet all the current youth. It was amazing seeing the growth and knowing I had something to do with it. I could see myself in the youths’ eyes.

READY BOLDEST We think big at More Than Words. Our long-term plan has always been to serve more youth, expand our enterprises, and increase our impact in the community and the field. Until now, the primary obstacle has been space. This year, we got a game-changing opportunity.


FOR OUR

MOVE YET

My bold move: As a State Rep, the votes I took to protect samesex marriage are some of my proudest moments. Although I found myself in the middle of a cultural shift, I recognized that the right to marriage is a fundamental right for all. Martin J. Walsh, Mayor, City of Boston

You are part of the solution After a year of careful planning, we rallied our community around this big opportunity. You saw what our ambitious plans could mean for young people and the city. 9 FOUNDATIONS & 4 BUSINESSES STEPPED UP

A rigorous planning process turned this bold vision into a plan. We couldn’t have done it without a dedicated staff and planning team, a community-minded landlord, and city partners who embrace our mission. Liberty Mutual loved the idea, too. They gave us the funds to plan, and then a gift to launch our campaign.

15 GENEROUS INDIVIDUALS RESPONDED TOO

TOGETHER, YOU HELPED US RAISE OVER $4M IN THE FIRST 9 MONTHS, TOWARD OUR GOAL OF $5M BY FY19.

In May, we made the official announcement at More Than Breakfast with Mayor Marty Walsh.

My bold move: When I lost my first wife to cancer, I needed to up my game and be what I kiddingly called “Momdad” to my daughters. I ventured into the uncharted territory of everything they experienced: physical and emotional changes, mean girls, boys, and dealing with the loss of their mom. I am proud that both are now on their way to successful lives, and I credit their mom for laying a great foundation. Mark Touhey, Senior Vice President, Corporate Secretary, and Chief of Staff to the CEO, Liberty Mutual Insurance Liberty Mutual Insurance provided a $75,000 planning grant, and launched MTW’s Campaign for South End Expansion with a $1,000,000 investment

My bold move: The Smith Family Foundation was bold in launching TEAM UP for Children, committing up to $10 million for an initiative focused on community health centers and children’s behavioral health needs. The level of collaboration, planning, and evaluation involved was new for the Foundation and required a leap of faith to take on such a daunting challenge.

This year, our business generated a recordbreaking $2.14M in gross earned revenue, representing nearly half of our budget. After sales expenses, the business contributed $1.1M to offset program costs.This highly sustainable hybrid-funding model inspires the confidence of public and private supporters. After expansion, earned revenue will grow to $4M in gross sales. My bold move: A month after graduating from college, I accepted a two-year position with UNICEF in India. At the time, before the Internet and mobile phones, India seemed very remote. I’d be far removed from family and friends. Those two years turned out to be among the most exciting and adventure-filled times in my life! Karen Blumenfeld, MTW Volunteer and Supporter

My bold move: I just went through extensive training to become a certified yoga instructor. It is not a career change: I want to volunteer to teach yoga to young people who have been affected by trauma. It’s bold to rearrange my life for this big commitment, but I truly believe it can help people. Tref Borden, Executive Director, Fish Family Foundation

My bold move: I was a high school drop-out living in a group home and a series of bold moves got me where I am today. I got my GED, quit my job to start my own computer business, and enrolled in college. But my boldest move yet? Being a dad. Chris, MTW Alumni, age 30, serial entrepreneur and Director of Business Development for an IT Company
