What it reported doing in 2024
Rvm provided mentoring services in circles (groups) and individual matches for youth and young parents. One mentor states "about 14 months ago when i first started meeting with my mentee, she was very shy and & standoffish. She was having lots of trouble both at home and in school, which often escalated to violent outbreaks. This relationship certainly beckoned at both of us to step out of comfort zones! I am happy to share that my mentee is now in a much better place! She has not only opened up with me in huge way, but is also much more comfortable communicating with other adults as well. She is doing well in school, has made many new friends, rarely has outbreaks, & communicates very openly with me every time that we hang out. Working with rogue valley mentoring has been one of the most rewarding and fulfulling aspects of living in this area. I am so grateful for the connection that we have all been able to cultivate through the mentor support meetings."
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 60% 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.
