Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

HIGHTS' mission is to transform youth in Western North Carolina by inspiring trust in their own abilities, connection to a caring community, and hope for a better future.

  • JCPC Compass/CORE/ISO services - These programs serve underserved youth ages 11-18 in Haywood, Jackson, and Macon County. They serve kids through after-school and alternative-to- suspension programs that focus on community service, adventure-based learning, experiential education, and recreation therapy. These programs served served 160 Youth participants in 2022-23.

    Expenses $1,881,962 · Grants $47,143 · Revenue $203,258

  • Therapeutic Counseling Services - HIGHTS engaged 268 youth in therapy services in 2022-23. This includes youth seen through outpatient therapy services, group therapy services, intensive in-home treatment, and addictions treatment. HIGHTS provides these services in different capacities in the seven westernmost counties of Western North Carolina. This region is rural and extremely underserved with therapeutic services due to limited resources and a lack of providers.

  • Workforce Development- This program serves youth ages 16-24 in Jackson, Macon, Swain, Graham, Clay, and Cherokee Counties that have dropped out of school or are otherwise disengaged. This program helps participants overcome boundaries and lack of resources to assist youth in attaining their GED's, engaging in the workforce and attaining a meaningful credential. This program provides assistance with gas mileage, childcare and other emergency needs that get in the way of underserved youth receiving a credential or diploma. HIGHTS provides eight weeks of paid work experience in a workplace, so youth gain valuable and meaningful work experience and often find employment with the same company they do this work experience with. HIGHTS Workforce development served 232 participants in 2022-23.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week.

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.
