Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide a nurturing and empowering environment for children through our community based after- school program. Our commitment is to create a supportive and inclusive space where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Together, we are building a brighter future, one child at a time.

What it reported doing in 2025

We are a 501c3 non-profi t program. We are an off -campus, community based after school program that serviced 81 children in 2024.we service our students at different capacities. Some of the services we offer are:-tutoring/homework help-childcare-hot meals on site, and meals to go-laundry services (families can bring their clothes and we wash/dry them at the helping house, free of charge, providing the detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets)-grooming- we provide soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair care and skin care products-we also provide social/emotional learning-we teach the children how to cook, clean, and the general skills to take care of a house-we provide a warm (or cool) safe haven and teach them love and respect.this after school program is run more like a home, and the children who come learn what it is like to be a family.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
