Bathurst Youth Centre des Jeunes is a 20-year-old bilingual New Brunswick youth services organization that has grown to $3.8 million in annual revenue while maintaining a lean 22.5% compensation ratio and a 92.5% mission ratio. The revenue picture is volatile — including a 100% historical drop followed by strong recovery — but the underlying program delivery is solid, with nearly $3 million directed to youth services programming in the Bathurst area.
Our Verdict: A fast-growing youth services organization with excellent program spending and lean staffing costs, Bathurst Youth Centre delivers strong value for donor and government dollars directed to youth programming. Revenue volatility and thin reserves are the primary areas to monitor, though the organization's contract-funded model and recent growth trajectory suggest stability is improving.
