Overview

Mission

The mission is to provide the children and families we serve with the necessary supports, skills and resources they need to be mpowered and strengthened. To this end, we provide an after school program, a Saturday academy (which is an extension of the after school program), intensive mentoring program, summer camp, and various other support groups and activities for the development of at risk children and their families.

What it reported doing in 2016

The after school program serviced children (ages 5-13) in 2016, running Monday-Thursday at 3:00-5:30 PM. In addition, a Saturday Academy was conducted for those children who need extra help, serving children (ages 5-13) in 2015, running 8:00-12:00 Saturday morning. The Saturday Academy was run only half the year due to a lack of funding. These programs are for children who have been identified as having behavioral and mental health challenges and do not fit into a traditional after school program. We offer a structured learning environment that encourages learning on all levels educationally, socially, emotionally, and recreationally. Areas that are covered are homework assistance, tutoring, cooking, computers, social skills, life skills, recreation and recreationally. Areas that are covered are homework assistance, tutoring, cooking, computers, social skills, life skills, recreation and also collaborate with community agencies and providers to systematically meet the goals of the children. Our objective is to provide a safe after school environment that helps children to develop transferable skills necessary to experience success at home, in school, and with their communities.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
