Encouraging the youth to exploit their potential in order to positively impact their lives and those of others through education

Operating model

Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
