Overview
Mission
To empower youth civic engagement in Alief through civic education, leadership development, and youth-led community projects.
What it reported doing in 2024
Youth-Led Community Project - Pocket Prairies: Constructed two community pocket prairies with 240 native Texas plants installed through partnerships with 75+ organizations, engaging 50+ volunteers and earning national recognition at the Resilient Cities Network conference. Developed a comprehensive disaster preparedness protocol while creating lasting green infrastructure that serves as a model for youth-led climate resilience projects nationwide.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
