Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Project REAL fosters civic engagement and critical thinking to cultivate responsibility and self-agency.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Project REAL fosters civic engagement and critical thinking in Nevada's youth, from kindergarten to college and beyond, effectively bridging mentorship gaps through our comprehensive programming. We provide a variety of enriching experiences, such as courthouse visits and comprehensive Adulting101 lessons, to cultivate responsibility and self-agency. Established in 2005, we've impacted over 220,000 young individuals in Nevada. All of our resources and experiences are provided for free to the schools, families, and students of Nevada that we serve.

  • Established in 2005, we've impacted over 220,000 young individuals in Nevada. All of our resources and experiences are provided for free to the schools, families, and students of Nevada that we serve.The only program - The SEP - served 20,600 people with 6,546 hours of direct service. Of those not taking part in our Behavior Intervention (45 minutes) or Book Distributions (15 minutes), the average amount of direct service being provided by Project REAL was 5.99 hours each (54,689 hours across 9,130 program participants of the 20,600 served). Continued on Sch. OWithin the single SEP program, we do have resources, and our top two expenses were for REALReady (approx. $63,000) and Adulting101 (approx. $83,000). REAL Ready served 6,585 hours across 7,195 program participants. Adulting101 distributed over 8,708 books, with more than half only being donated after Project REAL was allowed to deliver an 80-minute relationship violence prevention experience to the students.

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.
