Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

La Plata Youth Services, Inc. supports and advocates for youth facing challenges in school, home and court.

Activities or mission (Part I)

La Plata Youth Services, Inc. supports and advocates for youth facing challenges in school, home and court through a collaborative management program, a communities-in-school partnership, and a juvenile diversion program.

  • La Plata County collaborative management program (LPC CMP): LPYS is the backbone agency for a collaboration among youth-serving agencies that supports youth with complex needs in our community. The La Plata County CMP connects students, families, schools and other stakeholders through an Integrated Services and Support Team (ISST). The ISST functions as an integrated service planning model to bring resources and youth agencies together to better serve youth and their families. The Radical Possibilities Mentoring program and Communities-In Schools Partnership Program are prevention programs of the CMP.

    Expenses $470,077 · Revenue $131,559

  • LPYS juvenile diversion program: the LPYS youth diversion program provides an alternative, voluntary option for youth at-risk of entering the juvenile justice system. Our process is youth-centered and restorative in nature, providing opportunities for the youth to repair harm and build connection. Diversion services focus on increasing protective factors, resiliency, and overall well-being.

    Expenses $262,987 · Revenue $187,956

  • Communities-In-School Partnership (CISP) program: the Communities-In-Schools Partnership provides school-based mental and behavioral health services to students who face barriers to accessing care through individual and group sessions. Our goal is to improve overall youth wellbeing and resilience. This is done through collaboration with local agencies and community partners who provide therapeutic services to young people in a school setting.

    Expenses $111,162

  • The HUB: The HUB therapeutic program is an innovative educational model founded on a therapeutic approach to learning and development for students, in grades 6-12, with significant emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges. Piloted in 2020-2021, this strategic partnership between Durango School District 9R, La Plata Youth Services, and the Child Wellness Center, among other community-based agencies, brings together specialized expertise in a central location. The targeted population includes youth who are impacted by adverse childhood experiences or academic barriers connected to mental health.

    Expenses $109,536

  • Radical Possibilities (RP) Mentoring Program: The RP Mentoring Program serves youth in grades 6-12 who are facing adverse life conditions that affect their well-being and ability to engage positively in their lives. Through the support of skilled mentors, LPYS helps youth become more empowered and resilient in the face of life's challenges. Youth have the opportunity to engage one-on-one with their mentors as well as participate in group activities leading them to increased self-confidence and a sense of belonging in their community.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
