Overview

Mission

To promote the health and well-being of the youth in our community

What it reported doing in 2025

Prevent risky behavior through quality programming in the areas of health and life skills, sports, fitness and recreation, and character and leadership development, without regard for gender, race, color, creed or national origin.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 94% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 some filed totals do not add up.
