What it reported doing in 2024

The Comprehensive Systems Integration for Adolescent and Young Adult Health (CSI AYAH) project is a federally funded initiative administered through the American Academy of Pediatrics and supported by the Human Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The project aims to improve adolescent and young adult health and well-being across the United States by advancing integrated approaches across health, school, and community systems. Running from September 8, 2023, through August 31, 2028. CSI AYAH focuses on strengthening cross-sector collaboration, promoting holistic systems of care, and building the capacity of state, territorial, and tribal leaders to support youth-centered health initiatives. FY2025 represents year 2 of 5 for this project. Youth MOVE National (YMN) serves as the project's youth engagement and youth peer support subject matter expert. In partnership with the AAP and five additional national organizations, YMN shares leadership of the project's National Coordinating Committee, which convenes nationally recognized leaders across health, education, and community systems. YMN contributes to strategic leadership and systems integration efforts by supporting needs assessments, facilitating youth engagement activities, participating in steering committees and work groups, and helping develop a national blueprint for integrated systems of care. Additionally, YMN provides training and technical assistance (TTA) to Title V, state, territorial, and tribal leaders; informs key informant interviews and focus groups; contributes to the development of evidence-informed tools and resources; supports the creation of a repository of integrated care models hosted on AAP.org; and identifies and engages subject matter experts for TTA activities, learning collaboratives, webinars, and other program outputs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
