Overview

Mission

We enable children and youth in the community, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, healthy, and responsible citizens.

What it reported doing in 2024

The club provides after-school and summer programming in education and career development, character and leadership development, health and life skills, arts and sports, fitness and recreation, to children within the local area. This programming is intended to foster a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence. The goals are to promote healthy choices, self-esteem and academic success, and to help our members become responsible, caring productive citizens, 2,000 plus children were provided services for the fiscal period.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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 - 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 some filed totals do not add up.
