Overview

Mission

1.) to help raise awareness among the church community and the public of the needs of disadvantaged youth. 2.) to equip and encourage others, particularly in the church community, to become actively involved in helping disadvantaged youth. 3.) to match volunteer families with disadvantaged youth who need friends with whom to talk and share. 4.) to help secure financial assistance to provide for the further growth and development of disadvantaged youth. 5.) to promote and perpetuate the doctrines of christianity as a religion by publicly making known the teachings of jesus christ, engaging in activities necessary to support these teachings. 6.) direct involvement with disadvantaged youth and their families.

What it reported doing in 2023

Purposes 1, 2, 3, and 5 listed above are achieved by being actively involved in the lives of disadvantaged youth, leading by example. Current involvement includes working with other organizations that are active in troubled neighborhoods. Other individuals that have a desire to assist us are encouraged, after working with us, to attempt to reach other disadvantaged youth on their own. Purpose 4 listed above is achieved by helping disadvantaged youth with financial assistance to further their growth and development. This is only done if no other funding is available and if they have gone through a careful evaluation. Purpose 5 devotional times to help promote the doctrines of christianity. Purpose 6 is achieved through an outreach center that is open on a weekly basis in order to help with developing relationships and providing opportunities for disadvantaged youth. Also outdoor activities and overnight visits serve the same purposes as the outreach center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
