Mission

Youth Leadership Development

Activities or mission (Part I)

Purpose: Youth Leadership Development Mission Statement: Youth At The Center advances opportunities for children, youth, and young adults to be seen, heard, and valued as the next generation of leaders in their community.

  • Young, Not Silent youth-led team met to advance youth priorities. We had 37 students participate in Young, Not Silent programming throughout the year with a focus on violence prevention efforts in Cincinnati and advocating for issues that young people are passionate about.

    Expenses $62,778

  • YALA (Youth Antiracist Leadership Academy) is a program where young people better understand themselves and the world around them by exploring who they are and how they lead. Through examining the history of racism and movements for change, participants identify ways to be a leader for justice and liberation. We had 20 participants in our YALA program.

    Expenses $50,732

  • Earn As You Learn Youth Entrepreneurship Employment Program - We had 8 students complete the spring cohort and 20 students complete the summer cohort of Earn As You Learn, where they learned about being an entrepreneur and starting their own business. Participants gained skills in business plans, market research, brand identity, marketing, and financial literacy.

    Expenses $137,744

  • HEY! Fellowship - Youth Employment Program

    Expenses $101,414

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.

Something was entered that is not a web address, so it is not shown.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

Grants received

Other IRS files

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.
