The Indiana Youth Institute is proud to recognize 10 organizations with Indiana Youth Investment Awards. These awards are intended to highlight extraordinary – but often unrecognized – efforts on behalf of children and youth.
IYI is proud to play a role in honoring these organizations for their exemplary youth work and hopes this recognition will encourage and inspire others to make a difference in the lives of Hoosier children. Winners each receive a $5,000 prize to be used for professional development and to enhance their work with youth. They are also publicly acknowledged at local celebrations and receive free admission to IYI’s annual Kids Count in Indiana Conference.
