What Trekkers Inc does
Mission
A outdoor-based mentoring program that helps young people discover and develop their inherent strengths to promote personal growth through long-term relationships, experiential programming, a network of community supports and trains others to do the same.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
During the fye ending 8/31/25, trekkers served approximately 120 youth in our care program, spending around 300 hours with each student through year -round planning meetings, one-on-one relationship building, short trips and longer expenditionary excursions, with a focus on community service, cross- culture appreciation, and adventure - based education. The expeditions have a high ratio of adult mentors to participating youth, with the goal of creating meaningful connections between students and caring adults, offering safe places for young people to be heard, trusted, respected, and loved, and teaching the discipline of self-determination, active responsibility and other life skills.

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 2021 to 2022, from $523k to $1.1M (+113%).
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 6% · 2018 8% · 2019 5% · 2020 9% · 2021 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of TREKKERS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $555k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
