Overview

Mission

Youth Peace Enterprises Incorporated NFP is a mentoring and youth leadership development organization. Our mission is to utilize education, the arts and civic engagement as tools for positive change.

This program partners with various Chicago Public Schools for 12-16 week residencies which comprises of spoken word workshops, cultural field trips and community service involvement.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
