What it reported doing in 2024
Visionaries is EYP's flagship cohort model designed to meet youth where they are and help them develop their personal compass-defined by vision, skills, community, and agency. The program includes 13 essential skills and project-planning workshops. Participants can earn up to $400 for completing workshops and designing, leading, and implementing a community impact project. By program completion, youth gain marketable skills, demonstrated leadership experience, and a compass to help guide their pathways forward.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Affiliate-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
