Overview
Mission
Non-profit organization aimed at raising early alcohol and substance use awareness education among minority adolescents and youth of color in the Washington metro area. This will be achieved through prevention education programs consisting of providing information to parents and caregivers, enhancing and reinforcing protective factors and skills among adolescents, providing support to at-risk youths and reducing access by placing barriers to early drug use before it starts.
What it reported doing in 2025
Program 1: EYAME (Empower Youth through Awareness, Mentorship and Education): In 2025, MyNKA launched the EYAME program, a yearlong youth empowerment and prevention initiative focused on leadership development, healthy living, mental health awareness, and substance misuse prevention. Through workshops, educational excursions, health awareness fairs, and community engagement activities, the program equipped youth with tools for personal growth, discipline, and positive decision-making. Program activities included suicide prevention awareness events, bullying prevention workshops, alcohol prevention education, problem gambling awareness events, mentorship activities, and a summer youth camp experience. EYAME also hosted empowerment-focused gatherings that encouraged youth leadership, confidence building, and healthy digital habits. The program directly benefited approximately 179 youth and participants through five major events and activities, including more than 60 youth engaged in the Summer Camp program and more than 40 women who participated in the "Gathering of the Queens" empowerment event focused on supporting teenagers through faith and action. Additional measurable outcomes included: 30+ youth sign-ups for ongoing empowerment programming; 50+ youth participants pledging healthier screen-time habits; 20+ interactive participant responses collected through engagement tools during workshops and outreach events; A 4.7 out of 5 participant satisfaction rating for the EYAME BBQ engagement event; and 15+ youth volunteers who assisted with mentoring, leadership, and camp activities. The EYAME initiative empowered youth with leadership skills, health awareness education, and community engagement opportunities while strengthening family and community support systems.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
