Overview
Mission
We support and empower foster children, at-risk youth, and families in crisis by connecting them with compassionate volunteer advocates who provide hope, guidance, and a pathway to stability and lasting permanency.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our programs and services are dedicated to connecting the community's most vulnerable populations with volunteer advocates who can offer crucial support and guidance.

Our Be Bold program provides essential support to youth who have been trafficked or are at risk, empowering them with the resources and mentorship they need to heal and build a safe future. Our Family Services program works closely with families navigating the difficult process of reunification, offering the support and tools necessary to create a stable and loving home for their children.SEE SCHEDULE O FOR 2024-2025 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
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.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
