Overview
Mission
The organization promotes mental health and well-being among children and adolescents through mental health education, social and emotional learning programs, and related skill-building activities.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization delivers a 6-week, in-person social-emotional learning program for children ages 7-10. Through structured, interactive sessions, participants build skills in emotional awareness, stress management, communication, and problem-solving using cognitive behavioral techniques. The program promotes resilience, positive peer interactions, and overall mental well-being.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
