What Carmel Youth Assistance Inc does
Mission
The carmel youth assistance program (cyap) serves as an early intervention advocate for youth ages 3-17 who are facing challenging life circumstances. We take a holistic approach to coordinate our community's vast array of talents, services and resources to help youth and empower parent and cargivers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Every child deserves to have a positive role model which he or she can trust. The youth assistance program partners a caring adult with a child who needs a mentor. The mentor and child do everyday activities together such as playing in the park, going to a movie or learning to balance a checkbook. Children matched with a mentor do better in school, have higher self-esteem and make better choices. A mentor will be asked to make a one-year commitment to spending at least one hour each week with your child doing things you both enjoy while you serve as a positive role model. You will not be expected to spend large sums of money. What is valuable is that you share time together and have fun as you introduce your child to new experiences. You will be asked to email a mentor report sheet after each visit.

The summer lunch program targeted these children providing them with five healthy breakfasts and lunches for each of the 11 weeks of summer break. Families were also provided with a weekly menu plan tailored to the available items. Delivery was available for families who did not have readily available transportation.

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 2022 to 2023, from $532k to $822k (+54%).
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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $88k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states 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.
