Overview

Mission

Beat the Streets New England (BTSNE) utilizes the sport of wrestling to provide opportunities for youth to discover their full potential by building relationships with themselves, their team and their community. Our programs combine off-the-mat resources to build our student’s entire potential to pursue college, career, trade, or service.

What it reported doing in 2022

Using wrestling as a tool and motivator, boston youth wrestling (byw) teaches youth to successfully overcome socio-economic challenges that lead to educational gaps, poor health and negative community relationships, imparting skills such as a self-reliance, discipline, and commitment to others that apply both on and off the mat, in school and beyond. Byw provides mentorship, academic support, and rigorous training.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
