Overview

Mission

To build caring, confident youth and future leaders.

What it reported doing in 2025

To provide, through a program of informal education, opportunities for youth to realize their potential and to function effectively as caring, self-directed individuals, and to be responsible to themselves and others

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 95% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
