Congratulations also to our New Albany High School graduates!

In partnership with the New Albany High School Bulldog Resource Closet, we are able to serve students like these through our Bare Necessities program.

Huge thanks to the Indiana Youth Institute and the Youth Worker Well-Being Project for allowing us to invite all our staff for an evening of fun at the Jeff Aquatic Center!

Moments like these give our team a chance to relax, recharge, and connect with one another outside of the school day. We’re grateful for organizations that recognize the importance of supporting the people who spend their days supporting youth.

As we wrap up another school year, we’re excited to recognize Kaitlyn Harrison, Co-Lead at Riverside Elementary as our May Employee Spotlight!

Kaitlyn’s care, positivity, and dedication help make Youth Link a welcoming and supportive place for students each day. We’re so grateful for the impact she makes and the heart she brings to our team.

"The kids come in with their hugs and the smiles on the their faces! I also really love the times we laugh. It makes my work day more enjoyable at Youth Link," said Kaitlyn.

Thank you for a wonderful year!

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to once again thank the Samtec Cares Grant Committee for their generous $60,000 grant supporting our Student Wellness Program! 🧡

This gift helps us break down barriers through our Bare Necessities and School Based Therapy programs by giving students the support and confidence they need to succeed.

We’re so grateful for partners like Samtec who believe in the power of showing up for students.

🎓 Congratulations to our Jeff High 21st CCLC Class of 2026 graduates! 🎓

We’re so proud of these students and all they’ve accomplished throughout their high school journey. It has been a joy watching them grow, work hard, and prepare for this exciting next chapter.

We can’t wait to see all the amazing things ahead for you!

We want to thank the Taco Bell Foundation for funding our Real-World Readiness Program, which provided students with lessons in leadership culminating in a fun trip together!

Sixteen high school students, 4 staff members, and 2 leadership staff stepped into an unforgettable overnight adventure that felt like Christmas morning meets the best vacation of their lives, full of excitement, freedom, and pure joy. After completing nearly 20 leadership and career workshops, they got to celebrate with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Great Wolf Lodge and Kings Island where laughter, new experiences, and first-time moments made everything feel magical.
