Overview
Mission
To end the cycle of violence and abuse by empowering children and young adults with the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead healthy and productive lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Sticks & stones is a trauma informed school-based counseling program designed specifically for children who have been exposed to violence and trauma. The focus of the ten-week curriculum is to help children identify and express, in healthy ways, the various feelings they have. This is accomplished in small groups and in some cases individually. Throughout the ten weeks the children learn that any feelings they have are okay. It is the action they take in response to those feelings thatneeds to be expressed in healthy ways. The children and youth learn new coping, communication, and life skills that they can use every day at school, home and in their peer relationships. Various interventions include art, role-playing, discussion, relaxation/breathing exercises, and communication-focused anger management games.
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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
