Overview
Mission
To strengthen youth and families, and to reduce the incidence of delinquency, abuse and neglect through community involvement.
What it reported doing in 2025
Youth recognition is an annual spring event that recognizes and honors local young people who have volunteered their time and talent to the community. Nominations come from schools, private citizens, police and fire departments, or anyone who has been helpful to a young person.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 69% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
