Overview
Mission
The mission of American Passage is to educate while providing a stimulating, life enrichment environment for senior citizens, Alzheimer and dementia population. Through literacy, American Passage will reopen the world of information and the riches of transliteracy to enhance the lives and relationships of the elderly community. Participants will be transliterate as they learn to explore, connect, and collaborate with their peers. Additionally, children will be provided citizenship opportunities to support the Tales to Travel program through scaffolding learning and community engagement among the elderly. New immigrant students are given the opportunity to reinforce their reading strategies and problem solving abilities by reading aloud to and interacting with senior citizens in facilities. While earning community service hours, scholars are also making a difference and improving in their own reading ability.
What it reported doing in 2024
Tales to travel - a life enrichment program designed to simulate traveling to different countries and various u.s. States for alzheimer and dementia senior citizens. Through transliteracy, conversation and interaction with their peers, the elderly are able to read, summarize, articulate facts and share folktales and personal experiences. Participation in tales to travel actively engages the five senses as it stimulates traveler's memories and takes them to places beyond their present setting. Tales to travel's goal is to meet participants where they are and caters to serve those who cannot enter traditional libraries due to health, poverty or mobility constraints.
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 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
