Youth Development Initiative

Positive Youth Development Initiative

The goal of PYDI is to place Ameri Corps members at youth-serving organizations to increase the capacity of our local organizations, ensure more youth are getting their needs met, and provide an opportunity for individuals to serve their community and grow professionally along the way. Ameri Corps members will be placed at a variety of sites across Northwest Indiana. All of the sites will be youth-orientated and involve supporting the academic and/or social emotional skills of middle school or high school aged youth, but could vary in the type of activities performed.

You will work closely with the Ameri Corps Program Director to find the best site fit for you. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
