Overview
Mission
Charitable organization providing training and supportive services to underserved and oppressed communities. CART assists community members to create positive change in their schools and communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Youth Power Collective program was created to train and support teams of youth across the region in community organizing that helps them make change in their schools and communities. (1) Perris Youth Coalition, independent team of City of Perris CA high school age youth. Youth met weekly on Fridays and chose additional CART 3-hour training twice a month on saturdays. Youth created the Perris Youth Coalition which attended the Pride Parade outreach and the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Walk a Thon. Also conducted a Town Hall bringing together nearly 20 teens in a workshop to determine what they cared about in the community and how they might address the issues. CART provided food and other supports as well as weekly virtual office hours for students to drop in for assistance.(2) Community Organizing Camp, 7-days, 6-nights on the Campus of University of California Riverside experiencing an analysis of systemic racism from the 1600s forward, history, concepts, and techniques of community organizing, and art-based solutions that culminated in an on-stage presentation/performance about a pressing community issue. Inaugural convening with 27 high school students. Estimated # reached 100

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
