Overview

Mission

St. Johns provides a structured therapeutic setting for boys and young men from all five boroughs in nyc between the ages of 12 and 21.

What it reported doing in 2024

Non-secure placement (nsp) program operates under the close to home initiative on our campus and serves a capacity of twelve adolescent males. This program provides a safe and secure residential setting for adjudicated youth, close to their families and neighborhoods. The boys live in family style apartments and attend our on-ground school. The apartment is equipped with cameras and alarms to ensure maximum safety for our youth, staff and the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
