A Little Bit of Math
We know this is complicated and boring, but it is important.
-
In June, July and August, we covered 94% of our operating expenses with earned income. -
In other words, we only needed $1,735 in donation support to run our entire program this summer. With that money, we were able to do this: -
Employ 107 youth for a total of 11,203 hours with 35 employers -
28% of those hours were worked by foster youth -
An additional 23% of the hours were from low-income youth, or youth with other barriers to employment, such as learning disabilities
This is why we say we are developing a new and better youth jobs program. We are nearly self-sustaining and our youth are being paid to do important work. |
