Mission and Program Overview

Mission

FastTrack GED Program one on one tutoring, mentoring, provision of food, clothing hygiene supplies throught the pantry and clothing closet Provide youth opportunities to attend support groups and classes.

Ways for life helps youth find resources and creative solutions to issues such as housing, legal, employment, education, transportation, health care, wellness, and counseling. We understand that until immediate basic needs are met, it is nearly impossible to contemplate the future and ways for life believes that all young people are worthy of equal opportunities for a successful future.ways stands for wrap around youth services, which are delivered daily at brevard's only drop-in youth center. When youth enter our doors, a dedicated ways team member personally meets them to assess their immediate needs. Next, the ways care team staff helps them overcome their unique challenges by developing, implementing, and monitoring an individual success plan. The ways wraparound model has proven to be a successful tool for guiding our youth members away from hopelessness, homelessness, and crime toward a life full of promise and prosperity.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, ways is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. Unrelated business income results from rent, administration of self-insurance activities, and commissions. Ways utilizes the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of financial accounting standards board (fasb) asc 740, income taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of december 31, 2024, ways has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
