Mission
Our mission is to provide recovery support services and reduce substance use through education and intervention. We also help young adults successfully transition into adulthood by providing services to address essential needs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Etcada's youth program provides trauma-informed case management and supportive services to youth and young adults ages 15-25 who are at risk, in or exiting foster care, or have experienced trauma or victimization. The program delivers individualized service planning, life-skills development, and employment support, including job readiness and workforce navigation. Participants receive assistance with education, including school engagement and tuition support, as well as access to counseling, transportation, housing stabilization, and essential needs. Etcada connects youth to healthcare, behavioral health, and community resources through strong partnerships with child welfare agencies, juvenile services, and nonprofit organizations. By combining direct services wtih coordinated referrals, the program helps youth build stability, improve self-sufficiency, and reduce risk factors associated with substance use. This year the program has served 74 individuals.

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