ANNUAL REPORT2023#TogetherKidsWin

Page 2

2023 was a year of growth for Arrow. A year of serving more kids across Maryland and Texas, and a year of growing in our level of services to kids and families. It reminded me of the following verse:“…that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.” Ephesians 3:17-19This year, Arrow has expanded the breadth and length and height and depth of our services to children and families. We became the largest child placing agency in the state of Texas. We tripled the number of kinship families we serve. We are expanding our transitional living services to teen girls in foster care. We built and launched 4Kids4Families, our subsidiary that is the lead agency over foster care in East Texas. We are in the process of moving to a new school building in Maryland that can educate more students and has more space for the increase in staff.All of these facts capture the increase in the number of children and families Arrow serves. But they don’t capture the growth in the depth of our services. To see that, you would have to see our transporters working to reduce the trauma of a child entering foster care for the first time, by showing them pictures of the foster home and family, and offering them food and teddy bears to hold. You would have to see our case worker dressing up as Elsa for a court hearing. Our school staff creating memorable graduations for each of our schools. Our training team building out new evidence-based, trauma-informed trainings for our staff to further our learning culture. Our family engagement specialists sitting at kitchen tables, walking new kinship families through paperwork. Our residential counselors building bonds with traumatized teenagers, helping them take steps towards healing. Our therapists learning and implementing new therapeutic models, engaging in intensive family therapy to help a child succeed. A child on adoption day saying, “I’ve waited my entire life for this.” To see the depth of the services Arrow provides, you would have to talk to every child and family who has seen healing and redemption after experiencing hardship and trauma.Arrow is committed to doing what is best for every child in every situation, regardless of the hurdles or barriers. Every day our staff takes the hard road of fighting for the safety, well-being, and healing of every child. We will continue to grow in breadth and depth of services in 2024. We are grateful for your place beside us, supporting each and every child and family we serve. Blessings,Scott Lundy CEOMYPERSPECTIVEScott Lundy,Chief Executive OfcerDEAR ARROW FAMILY,

Arrow Child & Family Ministries is excited to introduce the newest member of our team – 4Kids4Families! 4Kids4Families, a new division of Arrow that was launched this year, is dedicated to providing foster care services for children and families in East Texas. Why 4Kids4Families?Texas is transitioning its child welfare system from a statewide, “one size fits all” approach to a community-based model designed to meet the individual and unique needs of children, youth, and families at the local level. This model is called Community-Based Care, and it allows foster children to be placed in homes within their community, preventing them from being separated from siblings and other community resources, and reducing further traumatization.The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) awarded 4Kids4Families the contract to become the lead agency in the Community-Based Care model for Texas DFPS Region 4, an East Texas region spanning 23 counties. Stage I of our work in Region 4 began on November 1, 2023, when 4Kids4Families went live. In Stage II, 4Kids4Families will provide case management for all children in foster care in Region 4. Arrow has over 25 years of expertise in serving Region 4 children, serving families in 20 of the Region’s 23 counties in recent years. We have deep roots in East Texas and believe these relationships are imperative to improving outcomes for kids. 4Kids4Families works with providers to place more children in their home counties, home regions, and loving homes, rather than residential treatment centers. 4Kids4Families hit the ground running on November 1, immediately placing children in loving, supportive foster homes. In the first two weeks, 4Kids’ placement team was able to reunite sibling groups, bring children back home to East Texas, and help children transition from emergency shelters to homes and families. 4Kids4Families’ goal is to engage the Greater East Texas community in the child welfare space to reach more potential foster and adoptive families and to improve outcomes for vulnerable children. In collaboration with community stakeholders, 4Kids4Families will transform the child welfare system to create innovative solutions for children and families in need. “4Kids4Families knows that every child needs a loving family. With the support of our community here in East Texas, we can make sure every child receives the love and care they need,” said Jon Mark McMullen.

MARYLAND WELCOMES THE STRIVE PROGRAMNew Program at Riverside Meets a Need for Young Students

Page 7

This year, Arrow Center for Education Schools had the opportunity to meet an important need in the local community. In February 2022, Harford County Public Schools, one of our biggest Local Education Agency partners, approached school leadership about adding a new program to our Riverside school. Harford County needed a program to serve their youngest students with intensive autism needs who require a highly specialized education environment. Arrow heeded the call by creating Riverside STRIVE.Serving students with intensive autism needs was new territory for Riverside, but we were ready to adapt, and the STRIVE program opened in September 2022. Throughout 2023, we witnessed precious moments of growth among individual children, as well as the program’s expansion to serve more students. Having the opportunity to witness one child’s first word ever was a special moment that our staff will never forget. Over the past year, many of our non-verbal students have found their voice while learning to use assistive technology, and Riverside has supported families so they can hear their children loud and clear at home. A non-verbal student who previously adopted aggressive behaviors to express his needs and desires has learned to communicate with his parents for the first time, and his aggressive behavior has significantly decreased. Riverside celebrated this year’s progress for the students with an inclusive, joyous kindergarten graduation celebration!Riverside STRIVE also offers a summer swimming program to meet the unique needs of students with autism. Dr. Ashley Williams explains that “many children with autism are drawn to water for its calming, sensory experience” and “enjoy swimming significantly more than children without ASD” (LEARN Behavioral). This fascination with water puts children with autism at greater risk of drowning and highlights the importance of swimming lessons for these students. STRIVE offers students with intensive autism a safe environment to learn to swim without the sensory, physical, and social challenges of a public pool, which can often be overwhelming. For many of the students, it was their first time swimming. Additionally, parents were able to swim with their children, which created a special memory for the whole family. This is just one example of how STRIVE fosters confidence, teamwork, and a sense of accomplishment among our students. Experiences like this are essential in contributing to a child’s overall growth and development. The STRIVE program is flourishing, as we have expanded to two classrooms full of students excited to learn. We look forward to participating in future moments of transformation among our students with intensive autism needs as we provide them with an environment to learn and grow through Riverside’s STRIVE program.

Arrow staff played an instrumental role in the passage of the Teacher Pay Parity Act in Maryland, which ensures that nonpublic schools like Arrow receive sufficient funding to provide our teachers with equal pay to that of teachers in traditional public schools. Sue McLendon has served as the President of the Maryland Association of Nonpublic Special Education Facilities (MANSEF) Board of Directors, which was the organization taking the lead on this effort. Sue played a major role in the passage of this bill, which is a victory for our teachers and children. In addition, one of our teachers, Katri Lein, testified on how she loves her work teaching at Arrow Riverside, but the gap in pay with her public school counterparts is keenly felt.Previously, nonpublic teachers were paid on average 18.5% less than teachers in public schools, and the number jumped to 33.4% less when factoring in working through the summer. In 2023, the Teacher Pay Parity Act was passed into law, ensuring that nonpublic schools have the funding to close the pay gap. Arrow is leading the way in making sure that kids receive the quality of education that they deserve.EQUITYFOR ALL TEACHERSArrow Staff HelpBring TeacherPay Parity toALL NonpublicSchool TeachersSue McLendon, Associate Vice President of Maryland schools, and Jennifer McGlothlin-Renault, Sr. Vice President of Maryland Programming, at MANSEF Lobby Day

Meet the Elam Family, the recipient of the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services (TACFS) 2023 Kinship Caregivers of the Year award! Joshua and Maranda Elam are two of Arrow’s fantastic kinship parents. Kinship care refers to the care of children by relatives or close family friends. Relatives are the preferred resource for children who must be removed from their birth parents, as they can help maintain a child’s connections with their family and community, increase stability, and minimize the trauma of family separation. The Elam Family grew from five to nine members when Joshua and Maranda opened their home to their cousins in need of care. In an interview with the Elams, Joshua and Maranda shared that they believe that as family members of children in need, they are best positioned to provide them with a loving, structured home. As kinship parents, Joshua and Maranda have had the opportunity to share their faith with the children in their care. They agreed that watching their cousins grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ has been the most satisfying aspect of this experience. Knowing that kinship care can be beneficial for children in foster care, Arrow has worked to increase our kinship services in 2023. Leah Wilson, the Director of Kinship, has built a team of family engagement specialists who work with kinship families. When kinship families become licensed foster families, they have access to more services and supports, benefitting the entire family. In 2022, Arrow licensed 22 kinship homes. In 2023, Arrow licensed 67 kinship homes, a three-fold increase in the number of families served. Arrow will continue to grow its kinship services in 2024.Joshua and Maranda were shocked to receive TACFS’s 2023 Kinship Award, as they were simply doing what they knew was right and had no expectation of recognition. The Elams shared that receiving the award has encouraged them and reminded them that they are truly making a difference for children in need of care. Arrow is grateful to each of our amazing kinship families who serve their loved ones every day.SUPERHERO KINSHIP CAREGIVERSJoshua and Maranda Elam Didn’t Hesitate When Asked to Care for Their Cousins

SPOTLIGHT STORIESJohn and Ray are brothers who had been placed with their great aunt in foster care in Maryland, but she was unable to keep caring for them. John, the older brother, is diagnosed with autism. The brothers were temporarily placed in separate foster homes. Ray’s foster father was open to adopting him, but he was worried that he didn’t have the experience to parent a child with special needs. Ray and John’s caseworker worked with him to educate him on caring for a child with autism. He began learning more about John, and soon John and Ray were reunited in his home. Several months later, he adopted both of the boys, and they are now a forever family.Emily came to Crossroads after two years as a runaway, following years of various foster care and residential placements. She was particularly drawn to the equine therapy program that Crossroads offers. She chose to come to Crossroads, saying that she wanted the chance to be a teenager and be safe for once. In her eight months at Crossroads, she has thrived, and she is an active participant in therapy. She is attending school for the rst time in two years, and she has gotten a job working with horses. The Crossroads community has been able to rally around her as she has faced family tragedies, and she is continuing to heal, grow, and live a normal teenager life while preparing for adulthood.10-year-old James was referred to our Behavioral Health Services program due to physical and verbal aggression. In eight months of working with his Behavioral Support Specialist, James has made huge strides, meeting all of his treatment goals, including no verbally or physically aggressive episodes in three months. Most importantly, he believes that he is loved, part of a family, and that his family is not giving up on him. James was adopted this year, and he has graduated from Behavioral Health Services!Our mission has always been and will continue to be to help kids & strengthen families. That happens in countless ways throughout the year. Here are just a few of those stories of hope.

Last year, Arrow gave us an opportunity to do more including wrapping and handing out presents to deserving families. This allowed us to be able to see a behind-the-scenes look at Arrow and all I can say is WOW!!! It was a blessing to see just how hard the folks at Arrow work for these kids and their foster families.
