Overview

Mission

To provide free counseling in schools to at-risk youth and families; to provide free and affordable counseling to the community in our clinic-based settings.

What it reported doing in 2024

SOS Community Counseling provides healing throughout Sonoma County, as a training agency that delivers collaborative, compassionate, and accessible care. One of our largest programs is our Juvenile Diversion Program where we use therapeutic counseling as a tool to work with youth who have come in contact with law enforcement. We have sites in Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Windsor, and now Rohnert Park. This is a 10-week program including 1:1 therapy, restorative practices, restitution, and community service. Once a youth completes all the components, then the work is submitted to the police department and the citation is expunged.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 79% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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 assets have declined or grown slowly.
