Overview

Mission

Committed to providing every student a path to success.

What it reported doing in 2024

Journey/partial: the journey program offers psychoeducation to students, family system, school districts, and other service providers to ensure that all mental health and wellness needs are being met for the student. This all-encompassing program provides state-aligned curriculum and academic support in a therapeutic and structured environment. Students will be held to their home school district's academic standards while being supported in an environment that identifies and meets a student's social-emotional needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
