Overview

Mission

The principal goals of juneau climbing and recreation are to promote physical education for our youth and other members of our community and encourage indoor climbing to improve persons strength, balance, confidence and physical fitness. We maintain a high degree of flexibility in overseeing the rock dumps space to provide greater opportunities and respond to the communitys ever-growing interests, especially to provide a safe indoor space that promotes physical activity despite alaskas inclement weather.

What it reported doing in 2024

Jcr operated the rock dump climbing gym. The facility serves first time climbers, travelers, school groups, and nearly 200 members. Along with offerings for climbing we offer coaching, youth programs, and instruction for those looking to get more out of their climbing. Outside of our regular hours, we also offer time for local schools ranging from primary to college to use the facility for education and recreation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
