Overview

Mission

To build caring relationships with youth through healthy interactions in a christ-centered environment for the purpose of building self-worth and ultimately demonstrating god's love. Our goal is to bridge the divide between young people and adults by creating a place where relationships can be formed. Our youth can never have too many good role models in their lives so we are striving to create a place where they can come and hang out with caring christian adults who are committed to demonstrating a christ-like lifestyle. The ultimate goal of all we do is to share god's love with any and all young people.

What it reported doing in 2024

We recognized a need in the community for a safe place for recreation and decided to start there. In may of 2015 we got the keys to the building we are currently working in and began renovation. All of the labor has come from volunteers from the community including many teens from a number of church youth groups in our area. Many of the materials have also been donated and the rest have come through financial gifts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 94% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

SUPPORTED - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
