Power and Promise
Youth participate in paid training programs that prepare them to successfully become mentors, community organizers, policy change advocates, and professional consultants for youth-serving organizations. These two-way, active forms of engagement allow youth to effect change in their immediate environment and begin shifting power to those most impacted.
Youth Media
Real Talk is a youth media initiative that focuses on the topics Indianapolis teens care about most. Through a partnership with WISH-TV, the City of Indianapolis Office of Public Health & Safety, and the Holliday Collaborative, VOICES Corp. is supporting local youth (ages 15-19) by developing and delivering quarterly televised town halls and monthly podcasts. Topics include social media, civic engagement, sexual health, and more! Check out our videos and interviews by clicking here. If you are interested in joining the team, please complete this form.
