The goal of MCCOY, Inc. has been to make a difference. In 1998, MCCOY,
|
|
Inc. led two efforts that, we believe, will help our community continue
|
|
to take the steps necessary to help all young people grow up and develop
|
|
well.
|
|
Participants in the Youth Outcomes Educational Initiative identified
|
|
three goals for all our youth to obtain: economic self-sufficiency,
|
|
healthy family, social relationships, and involvement in the community. A
|
|
short time later, the Community Youth Mapping Project sent 55 young
|
|
people out into the community to identify the resources they need to grow
|
|
up well: caring adults, safe places to go, and positive things to do.
|
|
One group of adults and one group of youth, through two very different
|
|
processes, have arrived at the same conclusion; our community still has
|
|
much to do if we are to help ALL of your youth successfully develop into
|
|
the responsible, productive adults who will our community in the
|
|
future.
|
|
As a provider of youth services, MCCOY, Inc. is here to support your
|
|
valuable efforts to develop young people. Recently, through a lot of hard
|
|
work and alliances with organizations like yours, some steps have been
|
|
taken in our community that will help young people continue to be
|
|
involved in positive activities. One, IndyGo in April adopted a
|
|
much-needed policy that all young people under the age of 19 may ride on
|
|
their buses at half the normal fare all year long. Two, funding was made
|
|
available this summer for youth organizations and churches to conduct
|
|
positive youth programming on Saturday evenings. Through the youth
|
|
mapping process, it was confirmed that the positive opportunities for
|
|
youth on weekend evenings were lacking. That need is being met.
|
|
As it has been an exciting year for all of us, MCCOY, Inc. cannot do
|
|
its part without the support of organizations like yours. Annually, we
|
|
ask several of our youth serving organizations to join us in our effort
|
|
to help young people grow up well in Indianapolis. Enclosed is a donation
|
|
card that will enable you to make Indianapolis a great place for ALL of
|
|
us to live. If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do
|
|
not hesitate to call me at 921-1288.
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
John F. Brandon, President MCCOY, Inc.
