ABOUT MCCOY

MCCOY was created in 1993 to be the youth-services intermediary organization in central Indiana. In this role, the organization serves as an Advocate, Capacity-Builder, Convener and Resource for those who serve youth. We have accomplished much in the past 24 years and look forward to the future!

As central Indiana’s most trusted champion for youth, MCCOY helps ensure that every young person has innovative opportunities to thrive, learn, engage, and contribute.

• As an advocate, MCCOY unifies individuals and organizations to promote youth voice in public policy.

• As a capacity-builder, MCCOY provides tools and trainings for youth professionals to build skills and effectively serve young people.

• As a convener, MCCOY gathers passionate community members in partnership to build solutions for youth issues.

• As a resource, MCCOY connects young people and their families to the programs they need to achieve their dreams.

With these perspectives in mind, we’re excited to publish the Youth Activity Directory (YAD) for the 21st year, and the app for 3rd year! The YAD is also available as a PDF on MCCOY’s website.

We produce this resource with one key goal – to help families, youth, and caring adults find the best programs, the programs that help children and teens develop the skills, knowledge, and attributes they need to be productive and healthy.

2017 YOUTH ACTIVITY DIRECTORY

Using the Youth Activity DirectoryWhether you’re a young person, a youth development professional, or a caring adult,

this directory is a great resource for you. With the help of this resource, you can do

the following:

• Find out about youth programs and organizations that work with youth.

• Look up volunteer and career planning opportunities.

• Check out what’s happening around the city for young people.

• Get information about summer camps

If you’re a parent or an adult working with a young person, invite youth to participate in your

youth activity exploration – the best program for them will usually be the program

that they’ve helped pick.

Find the right programPicking youth programs can be a challenge for parents and youth. As you research

opportunities and services, there are two key questions to ask:

• Does this program reflect the interests and abilities of my child?

• Is this a high-quality program?

The first question can be answered through open conversations with your child and the

program staff. The second question can be a little bit trickier. A high-quality program is

safe, has a welcoming atmosphere, fosters positive interaction among youth and staff,

and invites youth to make decisions and engage actively with program activities. These

are all topics you can discuss with program staff or assess by visiting a program before

you register.

To find out more about this directory or to have your organization listed, please contact MCCOY at

info@mccoyouth.org or call 317.921.1266.

SPECIAL THANKS TO DR. DIANNA FOX WHO MADE A DONATION WHEN PICKING UP YOUTH ACTIVIT Y DIRECTORIES TO DISTRIBUTE!

ABC's of a Job

1. Start looking BEFORE school gets out. 2. Youth needs to call, NOT mom, etc 3. Dress appropriately for interview-clean

clothes, NOT jeans/t'shirt; NO GUM CHEWING; speak clearly & respectfully

4. If you decide you don't want the job LET THEM KNOW so they can find a replacement

5. Be at work ON time, EVERY day. 6. Do NOT use your cell phone when you are

working. This is a responsibility.

Sometimes summer jobs can lead to school year jobs. Think about the time you need to do your 1st job-SCHOOL & hours you can handle if you want to work part time.

While you can get a work permit at 14, many employers do not hire that young unless you are REALLY outstanding in presenting yourself.
