Overview

Mission

Learning How 2 Live provides workforce development, reentry support, and life skills training to formerly incarcerated individuals, at-risk youth, and victims of human trafficking. Our programs include job readiness, multimedia certification, mentorship, clothing and hygiene assistance, housing referrals, and apprenticeships to promote successful reintegration and self-sufficiency.

What it reported doing in 2024

Multimedia Workforce Training Provided hands-on audio/visual training using DaVinci Resolve to incarcerated individuals and at-risk youth. 42 participants completed training modules in 2024, gaining job-ready skills in video editing, production, and soft skills. 11 were placed in jobs or apprenticeships following completion.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
