Mentoring operated its Cultural Exploration Travel Program, which provided a once-in-a-lifetime international travel experience to Thailand for a group of selected youth participants. The program aimed to expand cultural awareness, build global citizenship, and inspire leadership through immersive educational experiences abroad. Leading up to the trip, students attended mandatory sessions covering topics such as cultural sensitivity, international etiquette, financial literacy, global history, and basic Thai language and customs. While in Thailand, students engaged in hands-on learning experiences, including visiting historical temples, participating in service projects, touring local schools and villages, and engaging in guided conversations around global leadership and identity. This initiative not only deepened students understanding of the world beyond their neighborhoods, but also reinforced B.O.S.S. Mentorings core mission of developing confident, informed, and globally-minded young men prepared to become future leaders in their communities and beyond.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $137k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time

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.
