We work to prevent substance abuse. false false 421943 The 2024 tax year, our non-profit mission is to deliver prevention education to youth, many of which are experiencing our program in school. For that reason this report is based on our accomplishments in the 2024-2025 school year. The number of Missouri schools and organizations signed up for Safe and Sober has seen a 61.4 % increase during the 2024-2025 school year totaling 452. The number of students served by Missouri Schools and Organizations showed an 89% increase over FY 24 totaling 249,339 youth. Because the materials are available on our website at no cost, we track all users in addition to Missouri. Currently there are 724 registered users throughout all 50 states in the United States serving 439,458 youth. .This program year Safe and Sober (SNS) piloted a Clubs initiative to integrate prevention into student-led clubs, in addition to our full prevention program that is used by counselors, School Resource Officers, classroom teachers, and administrators in public, private and homeschools across the US. For our Clubs initiative we focused on the southwest Missouri Region to track the effectiveness of afterschool prevention. All told 46 schools and organizations participated including: 5 FCCLA chapters, 2 SADD chapters, Various Student Councils, 3 Project Graduation Committees, YMCA and 4-H chapters, Boys and Girls Club and multiple faith-based youth groups. Some of the data we collected from Clubs to measure our success includes: more than 1,100 students completed pre/post-tests: Pre-test: 637 students strongly agreed that using alcohol/drugs before 21 poses a significant risk. Post-test: 808 students strongly agreed. That is a 26.8% increase which suggests these youth are learning from the education we provide to them. As part of our larger program, SNS creates impaired driving TV spots that are distributed across the State of Missouri in broadcast media and social media from April September, known as the 100 most dangerous days. Additionally, we utilize social media to deliver our youth prevention education to young audiences from May September on Tik Tok, Instagram, Pandora, Spotify and Facebook. 421943 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false X KURT LARSON 4178906677 3331 E RIDGEVIEW ST SPRINGFIELD MO 65804 X KURT LARSON Chairman 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHEL RISO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE GREY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEREMY LYNN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RIKKI BARTON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN REYNOLDS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 59953 452709 512662 0 0 0 0 0 0 3978 59953 16550 -12572 -12572 0 0 0 500090 -12572 0 0 0 0 0 0 180167 145020 9983 25164 0 0 0 0 0 2094 2094 0 0 0 593 593 2307 2307 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 646 646 PROGRAM RESOURCES 155173 155173 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT 83127 83127 OPERATIONAL 15962 15962 PROGRAM 12586 12586 10258 10075 183 462913 421943 13499 27471 135408 171635 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 135408 171635 7952 7502 7952 7502 X 127456 164133 127456 164133 135408 171635 X 37177 -500 X false false false X 470847 493889 409606 433869 452709 2260920 0 0 470847 493889 409606 433869 452709 2260920 0 2260920 0 0 0 2260920 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false Rise and Shine Breakfast 48416 44438 3978 12636 Coffee Fest 15515 15515 3914 63931 59953 3978 16550 16550 -12572 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Draft copy given to the board for review and final approval before mailing Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a Our board members remain unpaid volunteers as they always have been.
