In that capacity the organization works with private businesses, school systems, educational institutions, non-profit organizations that serve youth and leading youth advocates to improve and expand opportunities to ease the transition from school to work for young people, at-risk young people. Outreach programs include Kids And the Power Of Work (KAPOW) a business/elementary school partnership which currently serves approximately 40,000 children in states from Florida and Ohio to California.In addition NCLC, as it has been for over one hundred years since its founding in 1904, is a voice to prevent the exploitation of young children in the workplace whether thats in inner city sweatshops or on the farms of the nation. Equally important NCLC is developing a program to focus attention on the sexual exploitation of children and to help develop intervention models.The Committees Lewis Hine Awards program annually (since 1985) recognizes and honors unsung American heroes for their work with children in a broad variety of fields including health, education, recreation, social service, etc. Since its inception honorees from over 44 states and the Virgin Islands have been recognized, and their important and noteworthy work reinforced. More than 250 individuals have been so honored.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
