Promise Indiana
Building Hope for Bright Futures. Championing Kids Across Our Communities.
The Promise Indiana program exists to ensure every child has the resources, champions, and community support to pursue education beyond high school.
About
Youth need academic, social-emotional, and financial support to thrive. The Promise Indiana program encourages families and communities to support youth as they build college-bound identity and aspire to attain degrees and credentials.
For over 20 years, the Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) has worked to improve postsecondary success for all Indiana children. Through our college and career initiatives we actively support, connect, and train Indiana’s youth workers, educators, and community leaders to ensure Indiana’s students have a clear and attainable pathway after high school.
