Overview

Mission

To create a competent, competitive work force, encourage a robust economy, gainful employment and a high quality of life through appropriate initiatives in education, training and social services emphasizing cooperation, performance outcomes, and effective use of resources.

What it reported doing in 2024

Programs include poverty busters americorps, financial literacy classes, scott county clearinghouse, reality stores, career clusters, summer youth feeding program, substance abuse prevention programs, substance abuse prevention curricula, scott county attendance review board, high school conquer the chaos, drug frees communities program, tobacco prevention & cessation initiative, and covering kids & families insurance navigation. Americorrps is a service program generated from the corporation for national and community service. Members serve at various service sites throughout the community and the state. They do not receive a paycheck or a wage. They receive a very modest living allowance. The living allowance is taxed, however. They are not eligible for unemployment because they did not "work," but served. At the conclusion of a successful term of service, they also receive an educational award to be used toward payment of federal student loans or to the college/trade school of their choice. All programs fit within the context of the mission statement of providing initiatives in "education, training, or social services".

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 68% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
