Overview

Mission

Supports alchohol and drug abuse prevention programming, at-risk teens and other community programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Dover youth to youth: conducted drug and alcohol prevention programming locally, at the state and national level. This program serves to support the activities of the dover youth to youth peer outreach program. These extracurricular groups involve students from dover middle school, dover high school as well as college age volunteers who have completed the program and continued to support the drug prevention activities. The groups plan educational programs that send a drug and alcohol-free message and plan positive alternative social activities that promote a drug free lifestyle. In 2025 approximately 400 students participated in various youth to youth groups through the school system and over 3,000 people were presented to.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 83% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
