Overview

Mission

The mission of Utah youth village is to empower children and families and help generations to come.

What it reported doing in 2024

Therapeutic family homes - treatment foster parents live in their own private homes and are licensed and trained with Utah youth village to provide treatment to youth between the ages of 0-21. The treatment parents in these homes are highly trained and closely supervised by a program consultant. They learn to use behavioral techniques and a structured program in their home to help foster children. Treatment parents work closely with biological parents, schools, caseworkers, therapists, courts, and others who are involved with the foster youth. Youth are referred to treatment foster homes by a variety of social service agencies, with the Utah division of child and family services being the primary referral source. The youth referred are in need of a very structured setting as most of them have failed previous placements in less structured foster homes. The most common referral behaviors are school attendance and behavioral problems, authority conflicts, peer problems, anger/aggression control problems, sexual or physical abuse, neglect, running away, attention deficit or hyperactivity problems, and substance abuse. Treatment in foster care regularly helps youth successfully return to biological families, be placed with adoptive families, or moved to lower level of care foster homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 66% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
