Overview

Mission

SCI’s mission is to strengthen communities by connecting diverse individuals and organizations through civic engagement initiatives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Sci continued to implement programs that build social capital and strengthen communities across the greater boston area, while launching a new strategic plan focused on developing 1,000 social capital cultivators by 2028. Through youth leadership, mental health, and community engagement initiatives, sci provided opportunities for residents to build relationships, develop leadership skills, and address local community needs. The sci youth grant pitch contest provided teens with the opportunity to develop and present a plan for a social impact project, guided by adult mentors. During the fiscal year 2025, 87 youth participated in the pitch contest, across 15 boston area teams, with a total of 35 adult volunteers providing mentoring. 90% of youth participants indicated the program increased opportunities, and 85% reported that they have developed skills needed to pursue their educational and career goals. The leaders for everyone's tomorrow, implemented in partnership with the network for social justice, engaged 6 teens in a summer internship program and school year activities focused on youth mental health. They supported their peers through providing resources, inclusive events, educational workshops and a youth-managed mental health website, middlesex4mentalhealth.org. The let interns planned 7 community events that engaged 250 participants. Sci americorps members served over 15,695 hours, connecting 1,856 young people with the relationships, experiences, and resources they need to succeed. 11 full-time sci americorps members coordinated youth leadership programs, planned community events, and managed online community outreach tools. Sci americorps members mobilized 613 volunteers who served over 1900 hours.

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 98% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
