Overview

Mission

Teen H.Y.P.E. (Helping Youth by Providing Education), empowers urban youth to thrive while strengthening their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mental Health and Substance Misuse Prevention Services: Through HYPE services teens and young adults work in partnership with adults to reduce the stigma associated with mental health in their community. They build pathways to healing and mental health services. Additionally, Teen HYPE is thrilled to be activating Healing Centered Engagement (HCE) in our agency, and across Detroits youth serving ecosystem. HCE is a strength- based approach that advances a holistic view of healing and recenters culture and identity as central features in well-being. In 2024 162 youth serving adults received training to support mental health and wellness, and over 2,400 youth and adults were exposed to positive mental health messages via Teen HYPEs annual play and social media placements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 90% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
