What it reported doing in 2022

Vaymca provides training for teachers/sponsors of the clubs. As an extension of the clubs, they operate model governments programs to teach students about state government and about leadership. The model general assembly is a state-wide youth legislature program for high school students assisted by members of the Virginia general assembly and staff members from the house and senate clerk's offices, students play the roles of senators, delegates, officers, pages, lobbyists, and reporter. They debate proposed changes to Virginia law in committees and on the floors of the house and senate. Mga is a hands-on, learning-by-doing exercise. The model judiciary program allows students to understand Virginia's judicial system through a series of mock trials and appeals. Teen leadership conferences are one-day, mini-versions of the model general assembly designed for middle school students. Scholarship assistance is available on an as-needed basis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
