Other organizations at this address

2 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO DELIVER TRAINING FOR IN-DEMAND CAREERS AND HELP SUPPORT THE PATHWAY TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE COLLABORATE WITH EMPLOYERS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO DRIVE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC STABILITY, UTILIZING A BLEND OF ADULT TRAINING PROGRAMS AND AFTER SCHOOL YOUTH ARTS MENTORSHIP BY LINKING STUDENTS WITH CAREER PATHWAYS. WE EXIST TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE DEPENDENCE OF PERSONS ON GOVERNMENT OR SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS BY TEACHING JOB SKILLS, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, RELIABILITY, ATTENDANCE, WORK ETHICS, AND RAISING SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-RESPECT. ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGES THE COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS OF ART MAKING AND ARTISTIC COMMUNICATION AS A WAY TO STIMULATE INTER-CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING, APPRECIATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE. THE ORGANIZATION EDUCATES AND INSPIRES YOUTH THROUGH THE ARTS ON THEIR WAY TO BECOMING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.

  • THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS ADULT TRAINING PROGRAMS (ATP) DESIGNED TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO PERFORM JOBS WHICH ARE IN HIGH DEMAND. THE ATPS ALLOW QUALIFIED APPLICANTS TO OBTAIN IN-DEMAND JOBS AT A LIVABLE WAGE WITH BENEFITS. HISTORICALLY, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR ADULT STUDENT POPULATION MOVED FROM PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO EMPLOYMENT. THE INITIAL OFFERING WAS THE MEDICAL ASSISTANT DIPLOMA PROGRAM, PREPARING STUDENTS TO BE PART OF THE EVER-GROWING HEALTH CARE PROFESSION. THE ORGANIZATION SECURED THEIR STATE LICENSE IN DECEMBER 2017 THROUGH THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR BOTH THE ADULT TRAINING PROGRAMS AS A SCHOOL AND THE MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM CURRICULUM, AND CLASSES BEGAN IN THE SPRING OF 2018. THE ORGANIZATION GREW THEIR PROGRAM OFFERING TO INCLUDE A PHLEBOTOMY DIPLOMA PROGRAM; THIS BECAME LICENSED IN NOVEMBER 2020 AND THE FIRST CLASS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2021.THE ORGANIZATION CREATES NATURAL MENTORSHIPS AND CAREER PATHWAYS BY PROVIDING FREE AFTER SCHOOL ART CLASSES TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THEY OFFER PRINTMAKING, CERAMICS, PAINTING, AND DRAWING. THE YOUTH ARTS PROGRAMS ARE PROVEN TO INCREASE OR MAINTAIN GRADUATION RATES AND BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS, POSITIVELY IMPACTING STUDENT POPULATIONS. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, THE AFTER-SCHOOL YOUTH ARTS PROGRAMMING WAS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN ALL REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, HOME-SCHOOL, OR CYBER SCHOOLS.

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.

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

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 29 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
