Overview

Mission

NIYLPs mission is to nurture the potential of Native American youth to be contributors to a more positive world through adventure- based learning and service to family community and nature.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mentoring - a multi-state group mentoring initiative to provide group and peer mentoring services to underserved Native American and other youth in six states. This mentoring initiative is funded by a three year grant from the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention CFDA number 16.726 Juvenile Mentoring Program.

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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
