Overview

Mission

To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

What it reported doing in 2024

After-school program for children ages 6 to 13: from 9/5/2024 to 6/11/2025 we ran a comprehensive program which included homework help, physical activity and youth development. The youth participated in programs such as passport to manhood, smart girls, project learn and game room. Our focus is on education, healthy lifestyles and community engagement. The program hours were between 3pm and 6:30pm. A daily snack and hot meal were provided. The club serves on average 79 children a day and serves over 15,800 meals and snacks.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
