Mission and programs · 2024

• Preventing and Ending Youth Homelessness: In the United States, 4.2 million youth and young adults experience homelessness each year, 700,000 of whom are minors. A wide body of research has demonstrated these youth experience significant challenges impacting their health, well-being, and academic success, including significantly high rates of victimization, exploitation, and trafficking. Unfortunately, the number of youth experiencing homelessness each year in this nation far exceeds our current resources. Currently, only 35% of homeless youth seeking housing are being served, leaving 65% to languish on the streets. Further, recent research shows these long waits are not only harmful but also increase the likelihood they will experience homelessness again.In response, Youth Collaboratory has focused on working with homeless youth providers, researchers, government agencies, philanthropists, and youth to design coordinated community systems that both reduce the number of youth experiencing homelessness and effectively respond to youth homelessness when it occurs.Youth Collaboratory provides training and capacity building services to organizations to meet the immediate needs of youth and young adults experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Youth Collaboratory provides trainings, toolkits, and consultation to organizations and professionals working with these young people to assist them on a successful path to adulthood. Our partners include nonprofit youth serving organizations, communities, and federal departments, including the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Department of Justice (DOJ).

• Building Community: Several Individual, social, and environmental risk factors increase the likelihood that young people are at risk of victimization, delinquency, or involvement in the juvenile justice system. Youth Collaboratory supports organizations in utilizing evidence-based community building practices to reduce these risk factors and increase protective factors that build resiliency. This includes leveraging formal and informal mentoring relationships to broaden connections to other networks, supports, and opportunities for young people. Grounded in evidence-based practice and a Positive Youth Development framework, Youth Collaboratory created the Mentoring+ program model. This model supports building communities with young people. Organizations using the Mentoring+ model have experienced several promising outcomes, including: 100% of mentees at high risk for involvement in the juvenile justice system have not offended or re-offended, 97% of mentors maintained a relationship with a mentee for at least a year, and 75% of mentees demonstrated increased social competence. Through this work, Youth Collaboratory has supported programs in 37 states who serve more than 160,000 youth and families annually.

• Preventing and Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking: Human sex trafficking is an issue that impacts communities across the world. In the USA alone, it is estimated that 100,000 to 300,000 youth are at risk for commercial sexual exploitation and domestic sex trafficking (CSE/DST) each year. In response to this epidemic, Youth Collaboratory enhances the capacity of organizations to prevent and address sexual exploitation and domestic sex trafficking of minors. We utilize a comprehensive continuum of integrated training, technical assistance (T&TA), and support that was carefully designed in response to the key obstacles programs face in preventing and addressing exploitation and trafficking.This includes strengthening resources focused on vulnerable communities and populations who are impacted. In active collaboration with young people with lived expertise, Youth Collaboratory provides direct support to community-based agencies, creates tools and resources for the field that are disseminated nationally.

  Expenses $448,843

• Membership and Consulting - Youth Collaboratory offers a way for individuals and organizations to benefit from deeper engagement with their services through membership and technical assistance.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
