Overview

Mission

Mentoring teens/youth for growth, maturity, careers

What it reported doing in 2025

Group-based mentoring: mentoring, addressing, and speaking to high school groups plus young people in trade career groups by mentoring enrolled teens, counseling organizations, and advising corporate entity sponsored groups (work force development). Over 100 benefited.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% 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 - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
