Overview
Mission
To provide, through programs and informal education, opportunities for youth to realize their potential and to function as caring, self directed individuals, responsible to themselves and others. As an organization, we seek to improve those conditions that affect youth.
What it reported doing in 2024
Camp fire school age child care programs located in seven elementary schools provide a safe, supportive environment for children kindergarten through fifth grade throughout the school year. Children participate in projects, work on homework, and spend time playing with friends, inside and outside, in the care of the company trained, caring adults.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
