Overview

Mission

To encourage the collaboration among business people, community members, parents, youths of Florida, and the Florida juvenile justice system to promote education and public safety through effective prevention, intervention, and treatment services that strengthen families and positively change the lives of troubled youth.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide assistance to youths, ages 16 to 22, who are or have been served by the Florida department of juvenile justice to assist in their successful transition into adulthood and becoming productive citizens by providing tuition assistance, job training, and living financial support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 89% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
