Overview

Mission

To organize, operate and maintain youth development programs and facilities for youth between 10 and 21 years of age living in the town of huntington, providing supportive services to better ensure positive youth performance in and out of school, including services which strengthen youth and family functioning.

What it reported doing in 2025

Programmatic contract management costs represent allocated contract management costs to manage and monitor all of the institute's programs as well as any other institute system funded programs. Monitoring includes, but is not limited to, site visits to observe programs, review of monthly report data, case tracing data in both hardcopy and electronic data processing formats, preparation of statistical reports for annual evaluations, and writing programs in various database codes to accomplish and facilitate all of the above.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 85% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
