Overview

Mission

Teen international media exchange sponsors in-person and internet collaborative media projects, bringing together students, film teachers and mentors from around the world to find a way to interrupt the vicious cycle of violence and revenge that threaten to overtake lives of young people everywhere.

What it reported doing in 2024

Restore her voice - work with strategists, military veterans and activists to arrange for the safe evacuation of heroic afghan women, including well-known journalists, defenders of human rights, notable musicians, and other direct targets of the brutal taliban agenda. Funds will be used to accomodate displaced groups when they arrive in their host countries.

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
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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
