Overview

Mission

At coachella valley youth leadership, our mission is to address the needs of youth and families in our community through mentoring, education, and community engagement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Cvyl utilizes a 10-week comprehensive youth leadership development program for adolescent young men ages 13-26, based on the nationally recognized joven noble curriculum written by jerry tello. Joven noble supports and guides young men through a rites of passage process while focusing on the prevention of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, relationship violence, and school deficiencies. Students learn the concept of palabra or, keeping your word, and they embrace it to navigate their daily life by incorporating the values of love, trust, dignity and respect.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.
