Welcome

Sponsored this week by the Dekko Foundation.

The Indiana Youth Institute promotes the healthy development of Indiana children and youth
by serving the people, institutions and communities that impact their well-being.

This Month

JANUARY: January is National Mentoring Month!  The presidents of Indiana’s public colleges and universities, plus a representative of the state's private post-secondary schools, have signed a declaration encouraging Hoosiers to become mentors to our state’s youth.  A caring and dedicated mentor can provide crucial guidance to his or her mentee—including helping a student decide whether or not to pursue a post-secondary education. 

Read the declaration here.

Listen to this WFYI interview as IYI’s President and CEO Bill Stanczykiewicz talks about successful mentoring relationships and post-secondary education.  Plus, read more in IYI’s January Monthly Column.

Data Posters

Supre Dad!

IYI's Data Team has created a new series of Data Posters—infographics that illustrate various childhood well-being statistics in an easy-to-understand, compelling format. 

These Data Posters cover topics such as the value of arts education and the role of sports in education.  We’ll be adding to the page periodically, so please check back! Find the Data Posters here!
