Overview

Mission

Manchester Youth Development Center is committed to providing a welcoming, safe, and caring environment for young people and their families, nurturing their academic, social, and emotional development.

The center operates a daycare center, after-school, and summer program which provides educational, recreational and cultural experiences to at risk minority youth and families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
