Overview

Mission

Enhance the lives of youth through quality sustainable mentoring relationships. Match every youth in yavapai county and sedona for whom assistance is requested and to expand the program through outreach to youth who are in need but have not yet requested service.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization recruited and matched youth (littles) with volunteers (bigs) to empower our littles to learn and grow in confidence as they navigate life and relationships by providing mentoring activities that meet the needs of our community. The organization provided ongoing support, at no cost, to youth, guardians, and volunteers by trained and professional staff. The organization continued to support the expansion of service to youth up to age 24 through organized and professionally led activities and workshops.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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.
