Overview

Mission

The objectives of the jeopardy program are to provide "at risk" youth with alternatives to gang memership and to educate the youth and their parents of the dangers of association with gang culture.

What it reported doing in 2009

Some of the programs provided by the organization are: tutoring - to assist youth in the furthering of their eduction. Sports programs - which includes soccer, basketball, baseball, karate, ice hockey, boxing, etc. Parenting classes - to aid in expanding the skills of the parent of "at risk" youth to identify the signs of pre gang activity. Jobs program - to assist youth and community businesses in developing trained and skilled employees. Gang awareness seminars - for schools administrators and faculties, social service workers and school children who are in the "at risk" age range. Theater/fine arts programs - to build self esteem and improve concentration skills. Scholarship programs for vocational jobs training and higher education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
