INDIANAPOLIS — The IndyEast Promise Neighborhood Youth Advisory Board is a student centered, data driven initiative that focuses on the promise that every child in the IndyEast Promise Neighborhood will be ready for college and prepared for a career. It serves the Near Eastside and Martindale-Brightwood communities.
The John Boner Neighborhood Center and Edna Martin Christian Center are working to engage young voices in the community and are taking the first steps to develop a Youth Advisory Board. Applications for the board are being accepted through March 1. Applicants should be in grades 6-11 who want to make a difference in the community, grow their leadership skills, and build stronger connections with their peers and community leaders. The opportunity is available for youth who live or go to school in the Promise Neighborhood boundaries.
Sessions will be held on Saturday, Feb. 24 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. at the IndyPL Martindale-Brightwood Branch, 2434 N. Sherman Dr. and on Sunday, Feb. 25 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. at Westminster Neighborhood Services, 2325 E. New York St. Youth who are interested may fill out an application at each session.
