Overview

Mission

The salesian boys & girls club is a home that welcomes, a playground where lasting friendships are made, a club that evangelizes by shaping moral character and values, and a school atmosphere that prepares for life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of a summer camp focusing on character and leadership development, sports, fitness, and recreation, health and life skills, education and career development for the youth of east boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding communities.

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. Some filed totals do not add up and liabilities are high compared with assets.
