Overview

Mission

To provide educational training and development for youth to succeed in college, business, and life.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, the Young Center for Academic and Cultural Enrichment provided educational services and support to 297 youth participants ages 13-18 from underrepresented communities in the Greater Los Angeles Area and surrounding communities. Services included, but were not limited to, academic tutoring and mentoring, leadership training, college and career and career preparation, scholarship awards, and support services for low-income youth participants

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
