Overview
Mission
Our goal is to create civic-minded emts and firefighters who will utilize their newly learned skills to work with community based programs, as well as local ems and fire agencies
What it reported doing in 2024
Bay emt is a unique program that targets at-risk youth ages 18 to 24, most of whom have had run-ins with the law, and diverts them to a vocational program that channels them into the health care field. The organization hopes to increase diversity in the health care industry and in the process teaches youth to become conscientious, civic-minded citizens. Bay emt offers two five-month courses each year, one in june and another in january. If students complete the course successfully, they are eligible to take the national registry exam, which qualifies them to work as emts. Since the program began in 2002, over 300 students have gone on to successful medical and firefighting careers.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
