Overview
Mission
Youth connection exists to prevent at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice system.
What it reported doing in 2024
Identified children to be at risk for delinquency. These children are provided supervised recreation services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 40% for direct work, 60% for grants, and 0% for member benefits.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
