Mission

FOUNDED IN 2012, YOUNG NEW YORKERS' RESTORATIVE ART DIVERSION PROGRAMS ALLOW YOUNG PEOPLE TO EXIT THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM, HAVE THEIR CASES DISMISSED AND SEALED, AND AVOID A LIFE-LONG CRIMINAL RECORD. IN ADDITION, OUR GRADUATE PROGRAMS OFFER LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO TRANSFORM THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM THROUGH ADVOCACY FORUMS, PUBLIC ART EXHIBITIONS, AND OTHER EVENTS. THESE EVENTS OFTEN TAKE PLACE IN COURTROOMS WHERE PARTICIPANTS CAN ENGAGE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS AND LEADERS AND ADVOCATE FOR A MORE HUMANE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM.IN TEN YEARS WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DIVERTED MORE THAN 1,800 YOUNG PEOPLE AWAY FROM JAIL AND OTHER SANCTIONS. TODAY, WE REMAIN THE ONLY CITYWIDE PROVIDER OF ARTS-BASED DIVERSION PROGRAMS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

YOUNG NEW YORKERS' RESTORATIVE ART DIVERSION PROGRAMS ALLOW YOUNG PEOPLE TO EXIT THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM, HAVE THEIR CASES DISMISSED AND SEALED, AND AVOID A LIFE-LONG CRIMINAL RECORD.

RAD SESSIONS ARE TAUGHT BY TEACHING ARTISTS INCLUDING YNY GRADUATES AND OTHER CREDIBLE MESSENGERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. YNY ORGANIZES RAD WORKSHOPS FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 PARTICIPANTS EACH YEAR.YNY HOLDS MONTHLY GRADUATE PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO STAY INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THEIR SESSION MANDATE. IN 2021, YNY LAUNCHED ITS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. YNY FELLOWS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN WEEKLY YNY STAFF MEETINGS TO SHARE INSIGHTS INTO HOW YNY CAN EVOLVE AS AN ORGANIZATION. FELLOWS ALSO CO-FACILITATE RAD SESSIONS PROVIDING PEER MENTORSHIP FOR NEW PARTICIPANTS, HELPING NEW THEM TO INVESTIGATE THEIR PERSONAL CHOICES WHILE ADVOCATING FOR LEGAL SYSTEMS CHANGE. RAD PROGRAMS TYPICALLY CULMINATE IN COURTROOM EXHIBITIONS, ATTENDED BY POLICE OFFICERS, JUDGES, AND LAWYERS, TO "RE-MEET" PARTICIPANTS IN A NEW CONTEXT AND SEE YOUNG NEW YORKERS BEYOND THEIR RAP SHEETS.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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 19 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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 November 2019, reinstated 15 November 2019.

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.
