Overview

Mission

Changing the course of a child's life by stabilizing families and strengthening mental health.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our woodbourne school, grades 6 -12, provides therapeutic educational services to males residing at the woodbourne residential treatment center and to students from the community who need a more specialized and intensive school program in order to be successful. The school offers a full schedule of classes and electives and is approved by the Maryland state department of education for full day and partial day special education, and regular education. When youth are given the chance to learn and grow, they gain a greater sense of confidence in their ability to be successful and a stronger hope for the future. Our nexus-woodbourne vocational program equips students with real-world, tangible skills they can use in their future careers and continuing education. Our students learn automotive maintenance, carpentry, and basic technical and engineering skills. This program provides a high-quality educational experience in a setting that's safe, supportive, and conducive to learning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
