Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To improve academic and personal success for at-promise youth through collaboration and innovative approaches to mentoring and learning.

  • The Bridge to Success Program utilizes a curriculum that is based on the learning needs for high school students who have not been successful in a traditional classroom setting, are credit deficient, and are at-risk for dropping out. The program focuses on student's learning in academic subjects, financial literacy, social skill building, college and career preparation, and goal setting.

    Expenses $359,728

  • The Academic Mentoring Program (AMP) recruits, screens, trains, places, and supports hundreds of college student volunteers a year in existing in-school and after school programs in order to assist at-risk children and young adults in grades K-12. The volunteers tutor, provide homework assistance and high-quality lesson plans, and engage their students in planned enrichment activities.

    Expenses $230,252

As filed on the 2023 return.

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.
