Overview

Mission

We are a multi-service organization empowering children and youth, with a special emphasis on girls, to become responsible, confident and personally fulfilled individuals.

What it reported doing in 2024

The abc school age enrichment program serves girls and boys, ages 5 through 14, providing a comprehensive, safe and supervised program while parents/caregivers are working or going to school themselves. Each child is encouraged and motivated to learn from the program's supportive environment. National studies have shown that children involved in after-school programs are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. After-school programs promote safety by reducing youth violence, offering a safe environment, and educating youth about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. This program is given onsite at the brigham center. The Massachusetts department of early education care (eec) licenses the program. The program served 220 children with 24,662 full day service units this year.

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 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
