youth advisory committee

EmployIndy has formed the Indy Achieves/Youth Advisory Committee to provide guidance and support of our efforts with youth and young adults as an extension of the Workforce Development Board. The Committee has been created to manage increasing high-quality postsecondary degrees and credentials within the City of Indianapolis, including financial aid programs at the K-12 and postsecondary levels, wraparound programs like mentor matching, and the execution of scholarships and grants to eligible students.
