INDIANAPOLIS — The Marion County Family and Youth Intervention Center serves youth ages 12 to 17, with a goal to connect them to resources that can help them reset in a calm environment.
The center first opened in 2025, but officials believe keeping it open 24/7 will make a big difference with Indy’s youth. The youth can stay at the facility for up to 23 hours.
The center offers free clothes, food, referrals to primary care providers, and houses a total of 24 beds. The kids are also connected to case management and educational support resources. The center accepts self-referrals, along with referrals from police and community groups. The center has served 50 young people since opening in September.
