Overview
Mission
PWC serves a racially and socio-economically diverse group of over 200 at risk youth throughout the year. The mission of the organization is to empower at risk youth to make them productive citizens, by promoting educational and vocational opportunities and by providing training, support and other tools that they need to overcome challenging circumstances.
What it reported doing in 2024
Environmental training programs: Established in 2012 the after school youth "green" jobs training program, a solar and environmental program is designed to teach at risk youth three basic learning objects - climate change education, renewable energy and renewable energy job outlook, and conservation. We accomplish our goals through hands on renewable energy projects ranging from building actual solar panels, LED lighting , solar battery powered mini off grid electric systems for multiple uses, wind generators, model green off grid homes, in particular, solar power systems on green model (doll house sized) homes. Our program offers a highly educational experience in green technology education and rewards our youth.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 61% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
