This month, we are kicking off a new effort to regularly share stories and highlights from the Youth Worker Well-Being Project Emerging Leaders of Color Fellowship. Since beginning the first cohort in July, this exceptional group of 36 people has been busy developing strong connections with one another and pouring into their understanding and knowledge around leadership best practices. “The content has been so helpful in supporting my professional growth,” one fellow shared following the August session. “I am learning innovative ways to impact my organization.” Be sure to keep up with the latest Emerging Leaders of Color stories on our website! https://loom.ly/ATy6hSE

About us
For three decades, the Indiana Youth Institute has supported the youth services field through innovative trainings, critical data, and capacity-building resources, aiming every effort at increasing the well-being of all children. Our mission is to improve the lives of all Indiana children by strengthening and connecting the people, organizations, and communities that are focused on kids and youth. We believe that every child counts. When children experience the conditions to thrive, to reach their full potential, our families, communities and state benefit. We believe in the power of collaboration and partnership, knowing that the ever-changing issues faced by children and youth cannot be tackled in silos. The success of youth-serving professionals and organizations is amplified when connected with other dedicated partners. We believe in constant learning and innovation. Our work is not finished until every child, in every part of our state, is safe, well-educated, healthy and supported by caring adults.
