Youth Home Receives Youth Investment Award

On Wednesday, October 11, 2006 the United Methodist Youth Home received a statewide Youth Investment Award, and a $5,000 check from the Indiana Youth Institute for our innovative work with troubled, abused and neglected young people. Additionally, we celebrated the opening of Transitions, our fourth group home that will prepare young women with the skills and confidence they need to achieve independent living.

"The troubled teenage girls who live at the United Methodist Youth Home receive more than a new experience, they receive a new lease on life," said Bill Stanczykiewicz, president and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute. "The structure, discipline and encouragement the girls receive, often for the first time in their lives, help them learn vital life skills, enjoy improvement at school and prepare for life as healthy, productive adults."

 

 

Youth Home Receives CCF Award to Help Strengthen and Enhance Programs

On Wednesday, November 15, 2006 the United Methodist Youth Home was thrilled to learn that we were one of 22 community and faith-based nonprofits to win the Indiana Youth Institute's Compassion Capital Fund Award.

Two organizations from each of Indiana's nine Congregational Districts plus four at-large winners were chosen from 150 applications received. As a winner, the Youth Home will receive up to 120 hours of coaching and technical assistance from IYI. At the end of the coaching period, we will be eligible to receive a financial award of up to $20,000 to strengthen our ability to expand or enhance our programs for young people.

"The free coaching that this award provides will help the winning organizations strategically identify how to serve more Hoosier children and youth more effectively," said Bill Stanczykiewicz, president and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute. "And the financial awards will help the winners to support capacity-building efforts and further the sustainability of their social service missions."
