Overview
Mission
To empower youth to make positive and smart choices while increasing opportunities in stem+arts, education, community service, and bridging cultures. This mission is accomplished through a variety of activities such as camps, afterschool programs, events, workshops, and classes.
What it reported doing in 2024
Boost program: an invaluable initiative supported by the Georgia department of education, the boost program offers more than 700 students tuition-free access to our enriching afterschool and summer programs. This funding has been pivotal in allowing us to extend our reach into two additional counties in Georgia, furthering our mission to empower youth through arts and education. With the expansion into albany, Georgia, we achieved an all-time high number of students enrolled in our summer camp, reaching 106 students. The program culminated in four events showcasing students' proficiency across multiple artistic disciplines. Additionally, the introduction of new art forms like culinary arts, chinese folk art, and music production enriched the learning experience.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 61% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
