The connection is a youth program in the city of niagara falls that provides free programs, including health education, evidence-based programs, homework assistance, job application assistance, gardening, sports, healthy cooking and healthy snacks to priority underserved youth over more than 200 days. Teen reality theatre is our youth program in the city of buffalo where participants write, create and perform skits and plays about adolescence, healthy relationships, and reproductive health for their peers and families. Participants are also peer health educators. Our in control youth program in the city of rochester empowered teens through educational, vocational and recreational projects. Other activities for youth included photography, music, podcasting, sewing/fashion, film and theater development and community service projects. Some participants become paid youth peer health educators. Peer health advocates in the city of syracuse provides youth peer education for priority youth. Peer health advocates also help with the diaper bank, providing free diapers and supplies to patients and gain paid work experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
