This program, funded by the gaston county juvenile crime prevention council, provides youth ages 12-17 who have admitted guilt to a minor offense an alternative to juvenile or district court through peer review of the sentencing phase of their case. It seeks to reduce recidivism by holding these first time offending youth responsible for their actions through punishment options more suited to their age and offense. Local middle and high school teens volunteer their time to be jury members, court clerks, bailiffs, and attorneys. The court session is overseen by one of gaston countys district court judges and deputies from the gaston county sheriffs office assist in the bailiff position. Local attorneys offer training and assistance to teens who prepare defense and prosecution for the offender.

For well over a decade in gaston county, and for nearly 40 years across the nation, cis has provided successful drop-out prevention programming at public school sites. By showing communities how to coordinate their public, private, and non-profit resources, kids can get the help they need, where they need it. Some examples of the activities held at cis sites are: school supply drives, after school homework clubs, career fairs, community service, mentoring, lunch and reading buddies. Each cis program surrounds young people with a community of health and mental health care providers, career counselors, tutors, mentors, lunch buddies, classroom and homework club volunteers, and other caring adults who can help them prepare for life.

This work occurs in various locations around the county like the ymca, dhhs, and gaston county parks & recreation departments. Typical work activities are cleaning or picking up trash while supervised by a caring adult. Being held responsible for their actions convinces 96% of the youth to never re-offend.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.1M to $1.5M (+35%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 47% · 2018 58% · 2019 61% · 2020 67% · 2021 44% · 2022 56% · 2023 76% · 2024 83% · 2025 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH COM’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH COM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH COM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 72% · 2019 75% · 2020 79% · 2021 50% · 2022 75% · 2023 74% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $51k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
