Overview

Mission

To reach youth with the salvation message of Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

The practical needs of youth are met where kids can feel safe before and after school. This is done five mornings and two afternoons per week at a local youth center. On the afternoons, after school free hot food is made available to all youth present. A breakfast is served one morning per week. Approximately 75-100 students attend the youth center each week. Relationship and ministry needs are addressed through both formal gospel messages and relationships developed between adult volunteers and the students. Various games are provided for the youth to play at the youth center as an alternative to parties and destructive behavior. As needed, clothing is provided to students from items donated to the youth center. Students who come to know Jesus Christ as their savior are encouraged to attend a church of their choosing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
