Mentors join hands with the family for up to one year, helping them make the very difficult transition to financial stability. Each mentor provides a broad range of support including assistance with budgeting, job preparation, decision making, emotional support, parenting and goal setting. Our unique program makes a difference in people's lives when they learn life skills from caring, committed volunteers. Due to our success, the Mentoring program has been recognized as a best practice by urban partnership initiatives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. The strength of the program is the three-way relationship among the client, the mentor, and the staff, all focused on helping the family become more self-sufficient.

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 2019 to 2020, from $782k to $1.2M (+49%).
