Overview

Mission

To provide professionally supported mentoring relationships, service the emotional, social, and educational needs of children ages five through eighteen whose advantages in those areas may be challenged, so they may grow to be healthy, contributing members of our community.

What it reported doing in 2012

Over 250 children ages 6 to 18 participated in youth development programs where they received guidance, mentoring, and fun activities from qualified role models.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
