Overview
Mission
We empower crime victims and support accountable individuals on their healing paths, while strengthening communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
North Star staff volunteer their time to facilitate the Restorative Justice Education Program (RJEP) and the Victim Offender Education Group (VOEG) inside several Colorado Department of Corrections facilities. These group experiences are designed to develop deep personal insight regarding behavior; empathy for those they have harmed; and accountability for personal choices and actions. VOEG is a year-long program originating at San Quentin prison in California over 20 years ago. RJEP is a model modified for Colorado in 2015 and runs for 12 weeks.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
