In FY24, UFM offered 614 enrichment courses and 146 courses were offered for credit through Kansas State University. In FY24, 1,450 (unduplicated count) persons took enrichment courses and 998 received KSU credit for their coursework.

- YouthBuild Bountiful Bridges is currently a large sponsored project funded by the US Dept of Labor. The full grant was given to the Manhattan Housing Authority and UFM is the subcontractor to deliver services. This grant supports pre-apprenticeships that will educate and train young adults ages 16-24 for jobs in high demand industries including construction. YouthBuild students learn building and rehabilitation skills targeted for low income or unhoused families to increase affordable housing in their communities. Students work on GED completion and also gain certifications such as OSHA 10 and NCCER accredited certificates. The program has welcomed 4 cohorts of students since October, 2023. This is a reimbursement grant so revenue always lags behind expenses while we await repayment of the monthly expenses.Expenses $377,373 · grants $327,414 · revenue $327,414
- Manhattan Area Risk Prevention Coalition (MARPC): UFM receives and administers grant funds on behalf of MARPC, a coalition of 12 community sector representative organizations and individuals. The group's focus is risk reduction and prevention among youth, especially in the area of drug/alcohol use issues and prevention activities. This also includes vaping among youth and fentanyl education. In FY24, MARPC received year eight of a federal Drug Free Communities grant. Funding was used for a media campaign on social hosting, responsible alcohol use and not providing alcohol to minors. MARPC coordinated Sticker Shock at Fort Riley. This project used over 20 volunteers to place stickers on packaged goods in liquor stores reminding purchasers not to provide alcohol to minors. MARPC also worked with the police department and the county health department to share information to the community. They sponsored programs to educate school personnel and parents about the reality of drug availability in the community and how to recognize it. The group scheduled many television and radio announcements about alcohol use and abuse prevention. In FY24, MARPC had 7,918 program participants. No measurement for media messages was available.Expenses $107,498 · grants $107,292 · revenue $107,365
- UFM Teen Mentoring Program: The Teen Mentoring program offers a structured program of support and life skills to youth in grades 7-12. Project goals for the teens include learning positive life skills and focusing on primary prevention and intervention activities. Students from Kansas State University serve as mentors.

This program is funded by the City of Manhattan KS Special Alcohol Fund. In FY24, the program offered three after school groups each week. In FY24, 30 youth and 42 college mentors participated in the program.Expenses $15,100 · grants $17,500 · revenue $17,500
- Manhattan Community Garden: Low cost garden plots are available for Manhattan and Riley County residents. Electronic newsletters are produced three times a year and an electronic gardening hints newsletter is sent weekly during the gardening season.

Land for the gardens is leased from the City of Manhattan at 9th and Riley Lane, and from Riley County at 1435 Collins Lane. In FY24, 176 families gardened 280 plots. Revenue appears to be high because plot rental sign-ups overlap two fiscal years with much of the revenue for the following year collected in the current year. Excess funds are used for garden maintenance, equipment purchase and reserved for future garden development. This is the oldest community garden in Kansas, established in 1974.Expenses $11,974 · revenue $11,589
