This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

By the end of the program, participants demonstrated increased career awareness, employability skills, and confidence in their abilities, positioning them for future educational and workforce success.
- $1,000 spent. The Skilled Trades Expo engaged 60 high school seniors in hands-on, career-focused learning experiences across multiple skilled trades.

Overall, the expo accomplishes the goal of preparing youth for future success while strengthening community ties, raising awareness about career opportunities, health and well-being through meaningful engagement and experiential learning.
