Overview
Mission
Journey On is a team with lived experience walking alongside others on life's journey by providing street outreach, suicide loss support, and youth mentorship. Journey On envisions a community empowered to face life and loss through connection, culture & dignity.
What it reported doing in 2025
Throughout 2025, the Street Outreach team documented 7,279 total interactions, including 4,862 outreachspecific contacts. They also responded to 432 Mobile Medic and dispatch calls and served 1,520 unique individuals, demonstrating both the depth and reach of their work across the community. The Youth Outreach team maintained a strong presence as well, averaging 3,200 connections with youth and their families. Their efforts provided critical resources, safety, and early intervention for young people navigating instability. The LOSS Team continued to be a steady source of support during moments of acute crisis, responding to more than 45 calls for assistance and contributing 238 hours to help individuals and families impacted by suicide or traumatic loss. In addition to crisis response and outreach, Journey On partnered closely with local housing agencies and programs to help 20 families secure stable housing and access the resources needed to break cycles of houselessness.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 91% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
