Overview

Mission

To see every child thrive in life, despite their circumstances, reaching their fullest potential.

What it reported doing in 2025

Each week, our mentors spend time with their mentees at their respective schools instructing them from research based sel curriculum about appropriate emotional control, making positive choices, and positive self- concepts. We provide guidance to students and assist teachers/principals in trying to help students succeed in and out of the classroom. We also create opportunities outside of classroom for positive and enriching experiences, such as a family skate night at our local skating rink, a family movie night at our local theater, a youth leadership conference where the attendees are exposed to over 20 different professions with several different educational paths, and a day of fun at our local civic center including a cheer camp, a basketball camp, and some adult basketball games played by several different professionals from our community. We believe it really does take a village to help raise the next generation and we are trying to do our part in that.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
