AYS Programs Receive Grant Money Through Youth as Resources

Two AYS programs have received grant money through Youth as Resources of Central Indiana, a program of United Way of Central Indiana.

The AYS program at IPS #91 received $976.45 to implement their “Smoke Free is the Way 2 B” project. The smoking prevention and education project is an opportunity for the students to spread awareness about the dangers of smoking. The students, clad in matching “Smoke Free is the Way 2 B” t-shirts, will hand out suckers and water bottles with the slogan printed on them at Canterbury Park on May 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They will then walk into Broad Ripple Village to pass out flyers. The students conceived the idea and wrote the grant with the assistance of Program Director Jo Havens and Nurse Consultant Jill Taylor.

The AYS program at Hazel Dell (pictured above) also received a YAR grant for an upcoming community service project. The program received $700 to purchase summer toys for baskets they will create for underprivileged children. The baskets will be delivered to Third Phase, a women’s shelter in Noblesville.
