Overview

Mission

To provide a safe, positive environment for local youth to participate in activities that target character, leadership, and educational development.

What it reported doing in 2024

The boys & girls club of north central Louisiana, inc., operates according to its charter in conjunction with the national organization. It offers daily, after school, and summer programs and activities which target character, leadership, and educational development of all youth ages 7 to 18. Programs and activities include homework assistance and tutoring, health education, inter-personal skill development, computer lab, chess club, organized sports and a game room. The club currently serves a membership of over 350 local youths. Parents, teachers and concerned citizens report improved grades, positive changes in attitudes and a stronger sense of well-being as a result of these programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
