Overview
Mission
Empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible community members.
What it reported doing in 2024
Youth violence prevention & intervention: in 2024, we served 238 elementary youth in our prevention program and 115 teens through our intervention program. This program provides targeted mentoring and case management to youth impacted by group violence. For prevention youth at our elementary sites, 78% maintained or increased social competence according to staff mentors. 71% of teens in our intervention program maintained or increased their engagement in pro-social activities, and 54% increased their academic performance. Overall, this program increases a young person's protective factors and provides them with the support and resources they need to achieve their goals. Through the chill foundation partnership, youth have gained confidence and resilience by learning to skateboard and snowboard, many for the first time. The structured program fosters goal-setting, perseverance, and self-discipline, teaching participants to embrace challenges and push beyond their comfort zones.
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 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
