Overview

Mission

Urban youth workers institute's mission is to develop the urban youth worker so that urban youth have the leaders and role models they need to live transformed lives by the gospel of jesus christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

Networks: in partnership with dvuli, we have launched 10 fuel networks throughout the country. Our regional leaders are partnered with our network coordinator to establish a connection with youth leaders in their cities. Uywi is providing a model and framework for establishing fuel networks. The framework will help regional leaders establish a specific mission, determined by each community, supported by 3 major objectives: gather & connect, carry & care, and create & collaborate. We are committed to supporting each network by providing resources, training, and development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
