What Kids-4-K9s Inc does
Mission
To create opportunities for young people to learn about and advocate for the ethical treatment of companion animals in their home and community, and to promote compassion in everyday interactions with people.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Teen summer internship program - the maryland spca and kids-4-k9s, inc. Have teamed up to deliver a multi-tiered service-learning opportunity for baltimore teens. The program is designed specifically for students aged 15-18 with an interest in learning about animal welfare and playing an active role in preventing animal abuse, cruelty and neglect. Participants spend about half of their time in fun interactive lessons learning about how to use positive reinforcement to teach and change behavior and the remaining time working directly with shelter dogs, assisted by program leaders and experienced volunteers. Participants earn 20 service learning hours during the week-long program.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
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 $1k to $4k (+194%).
