Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Activity Center: The Organization maintains a facility where IYG serves young people ages 12-20 who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) and their friends. The Activity Center is open Wednesday through Friday evenings. All programs are free. Youth socializing or participating in programs are adult supervised at all times. IYG is a safe place to build self-confidence, explore individualism and develop friendships within a community that values fairness, acceptance, respect for diversity and equality. Approximately 30 programs are offered each month at the Activity Center and range from discussion and affinity groups (Guys Who Like Guys, Queer Youth of Color, LGBT and the Media) to art/poetry programs or workshops (Separation of Church and H8, financial literacy). OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Educational Outreach: In an effort to eliminate harassment that many LGBT youth experience, IYG facilitates Gay Straight Alliances (GSAs) in high schools and provides capacity building to existing GSAs. These services reach many locations in Indiana, such as Evansville, Bloomington, Lafayette, South Bend, Ft. Wayne and many smaller communities. Research positively correlates the presence of a GSA with decreased harassment and bullying at schools, and increased school attendance and GPA for LGBT students. In 2015, IYG hired a full time teacher to help youth who had dropped out of school or were about to. Now, IYG offers homework hours, tutors for help with specific classes and high school equivalency tests, and workshops on college application letters, financial aid, and opportunities outside of college. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Suicide Prevention: A disproportionately high percentage of LGBTQ youth suffer from depression and suicidality. Statistics from the Indiana Youth Behavioral Survey found that 22% of LGBTQ youth had attempted suicide compared to 5.5% of heterosexual youth. Through a grant from the Department of Mental Health and Addiction, IYG began developing the first cohort-based suicide prevention program specifically targeting LGBTQ youth. This program, Thrive: Dare to be Powerful, is based on Cognitive Behavioral Theory and is on track to become an evidence-based program listed on NREPP (National Registry of Evidence-based Programs). Strength-Based Case Management is also a program offered by IYG to combat suicide and depression and to increase self-efficacy. This is a short-term (normally 8 sessions) program where the youth sets one specific goal that they and the case manager set out action steps to achieve. The achievement of these goals, whether finding a job, getting back into school or getting along better at home, show youth that they can be in control of their lives with very positive results. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Youth Summits and Leadership Development: IYG produces 2 youth summits per year. The fall youth summit focuses on youth leadership in high school Gay Straight Alliances and also provides capacity building for adult sponsors. The spring summit is open to all LGBTQ youth age 12-20 and is a Saturday full of educational workshops, fun activities and food. IYG's Leadership Development program is woven into the fabric of IYG's programming. Opportunities for leadership are routinely available through the Youth Council (which makes decisions about the center's rules and programming), representation on the Board of Directors, event committees (talent show, pride float, prom, etc.) and GSA leadership. Youth also participate in speaking engagements to college classes, community groups and youth service workers. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Community Education and Cultural Competency Training: Community education is key to changing attitudes. Through educating parents, social service workers, juvenile justice workers, foster parents, medical personnel and educators, IYG helps the community be more accepting, understanding, sensitive and aware of complications in the lives of the LGBT youth they serve, and helps the community become a more welcoming place for LGBT youth. Speaking engagements are provided to many community organizations, churches, service groups and college classes.
