ABOUT MCCOY
MCCOY was created in 1993 to be the youth-services intermediary organization in central Indiana. In this role, the organization serves as an Advocate, Capacity-Builder, Convener and Resource for those who serve youth. We have accomplished much in the past 25 years and look forward to the future!
As central Indiana’s most trusted champion for youth, MCCOY helps ensure that every young person has innovative opportunities to thrive, learn, engage, and contribute. • As an advocate, MCCOY unifies individuals and organizations to promote youth voice in public policy. • As a capacity-builder, MCCOY provides tools and trainings for youth professionals to build skills and effectively serve young people. • As a convener, MCCOY gathers passionate community members in partnership to build solutions for youth issues. • As a resource, MCCOY connects young people and their families to the programs they need to achieve their dreams.
With these perspectives in mind, we’re excited to publish the Youth Activity Directory (YAD) for the 22nd year, and the app for 4th year! The YAD is also available as a PDF on MCCOY’s website.
We produce this resource with one key goal – to help families, youth, and caring adults find the best programs, the programs that help children and teens develop the skills, knowledge, and attributes they need to be productive and healthy.

Using the Youth Activity Directory
Whether you’re a young person, a youth development professional, or a caring adult, this directory is a great resource for you. With the help of this resource, you can do the following:
• Find out about youth programs and organizations that work with youth. • Look up volunteer and career planning opportunities. • Check out what’s happening around the city for young people. • Get information about summer camps
If you’re a parent or an adult working with a young person, invite youth to participate in your youth activity exploration – the best program for them will usually be the program that they’ve helped pick.
Find the right program
Picking youth programs can be a challenge for parents and youth. As you research opportunities and services, there are two key questions to ask:
• Does this program reflect the interests and abilities of my child? • Is this a high-quality program?
The first question can be answered through open conversations with your child and the program staff. The second question can be a little bit trickier. A high-quality program is safe, has a welcoming atmosphere, fosters positive interaction among youth and staff, and invites youth to make decisions and engage actively with program activities. These are all topics you can discuss with program staff or assess by visiting a program before you register.
To find out more about this directory or to have your organization listed, please contact MCCOY at [email protected] or call 317.921.1266. — FAMILY FUN —
