Reliability Notes

Self-reported. The IRS-registered address is in Draper (see Form 990 record); operational sites are described here as West Valley City school locations. The About page does not name Draper as a program site — the lead's "Draper and West Valley City" pairing reflects the nonprofit's registered office versus its stated program footprint.
