JUSTCAREERS PROVIDES JUSTICE-INVOLVED EMERGING ADULTS ACCESS TO TRAINING IN A HIGH DEMAND CAREER WHERE THEY ARE PAID FOR BOTH CLASSROOM AND JOB SITE TIME - CALLED AN "EARN AND LEARN" MODEL.

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.
