Overview
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to empower young people by creating access to career paths in the skilled trades, fostering pride, stability, and purpose through hands-on training and mentorship.
What it reported doing in 2025
During the summer program, the organization successfully served 60 youth participants through a structured, four-week paid internship focused on career exploration and workforce development. Interns engaged in hands-on training in skilled trades, participated in professional development and received mentorship from program staff. The program provided stipends to reinforce workplace accountability, offered transportation and access to safe, structured learning environments, and facilitated opportunities for networking with industry professionals. By the end of the program, participants demonstrated increased career awareness, employability skills, and confidence in their abilities, positioning them for future educational and workforce success.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
