Through a partnership with los angeles police department, to prepare and empower underserved and underpriviledged youth to lead responsible, productive, and fulfilling lives. We provide opportunities and hope to our youth from all walks of life and bridge the relationships between law enforcement and the communities we serve by raising awareness on how nonprofits, law enforcement, schools, academia, and the community can work together to support youth and families and make neighborhoods safer.

With an overarching goal to prevent/reduce youth violence and gang involvement and improve family/youth communication skills and relationships, dvpip includes six-month to one-year behavioral case management services for youth/parents; 12-week training sessions, focusing on conflict-resolution and improving communication skills, along with mental health therapy for youth and parents; and 10-week parenting skills trainings help parents become better advocates for their children and their families.

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 the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
