Overview

Mission

Since 1941, boys & girls clubs of central orange coast has committed to doing whatever it takes to help underserved children and youth build strong foundations that lead to healthy, productive and successful lives as adults. Our mission is to ensure that every young person has mentors and champions in life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our commitment is simple: no matter what background, socio-economic status, or obstacle, every child, teen and young adult we serve will receive a first-class mentoring experience and the support they need to succeed. The fundamental issue we aim to address is the multitude of deep disparities the underserved young people we serve face simply because they come from historically-marginalized backgrounds and low-income households. Education is the forefront of our strategy to help at-risk youth break cycles of poverty. Our holistic programming expands academic, health and social resources available to youth and families in our community, thereby contributing to social and economic mobility by building up the hard and soft skills

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 96% 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 filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
