Overview
Mission
At Right Choice For Youth, Inc., our mission is to provide unwavering support and nurturing guidance to every child in our community, fostering their growth and empowering them to thrive, one child at a time.
What it reported doing in 2025
On Wednesdays from 4:30: pm-6:30 pm, we provide Arts Education and Tutorial programs for kids who are at-risk academically or battling with social-emotional behaviors in the neighborhood. Yes, we are very small and underfunded and may be limited tohaving enough volunteers to do everything we want to do (currently)but all it takes is a heart to begin the change.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
