Overview
Mission
Teen and parent service society (taps) is an organization of high school girls and parents committed to promoting volunteerism through effective action and leadership. Its purpose is exclusively educational, service-oriented and charitable. Taps reaches out to high school girls and their parents of all races, religion and national origins who demonstrate an interest in, and a commitment to, volunteerism.
What it reported doing in 2024
ALL CLASS PROJECTSWe offer various projects and partnerships which are open to all four of the TAPS classes. We organized a summer swim program called "Jump-In" with a focus on water safety and introductory swim lessons for the children of Love-A-Child Mission. We also supported "Night to Shine,"an unforgettable prom night experience for teens with special needs put on through the local churches where thousands of people with special needs are celebrated, given the royal treatment and reminded of love for them! Our volunteers helped with hair/makeup, karaoke, photo booths and other activities, but especially escorting the guests to make sure they get to experience all aspects of a Prom! We also provided volunteers to help run events for Save Mount Diablo, MADD, Elks Lodge, Ruth Bancroft Gardens, Special Olympics, and the Cities of Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill. We made and donated hygiene kits for refugees and foster teens. We made and mailed Halloween, Shabbat Shalom, Valentine's Day, Spring/Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas cards to the elderly communities. We prepared food for distribution at food banks, helped provide care for therapy horses, provided respite days/babysitting for foster families, and made and donated blankets to Children's Hospital. But most of all, our teens learned the value of service.
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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
