Overview

Mission

Helping today's youth become tomorrow's leaders

What it reported doing in 2025

The PCCTF conducts an annual DEFY HS Conference (previously known as Junior/Senior Conference); an annual DEFY 8 Conference (previously known as Eighth Grade Conference); and in-school lifeskill programs - DEFY LS and Healthy Alternatives for Little Ones (HALO); and assists other community organizations that have similar missions. Of the DEFY participants 83% stated the program was beneficial for them, 79% stated they are less likely to use as a result of the conferences, and 88% stated others would benefit from attending the program. Of the HALO participants 97% were able to identify healthy and harmful foods and drinks, 95% were able to identify a healthy coping skill and 97% were able to list a way to say NO to negative peer pressure. The in-school programs served approximately 1,535 youth in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 93% 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

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
