Overview

Mission

To inspire and enable all youth to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens by providing stimulating and challenging programs through interaction with dedicated, caring people.

What it reported doing in 2024

(see schedule o)the organization provides a building-centered program, professional staff, and a fun environment to help all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. The organization serves ages 6-18 and provides programs in the areas of character and leadership, education and career development, health and life skills, the arts, and sports, fitness and recreation. Members pay an annual membership fee. They also pay for field trips, summer camps and other special activities designed to create healthy, active and responsible youth. However, no youth is turned away due to an inability to pay these fees. Through the organizations fundraising efforts, the club is able to offer scholarship type arrangements for any youth who wishes to attend the club but does not have the financial means to do so.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
