The activity center is open Wed-Fri evenings serving 578 unique with 3,400 total visits. 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. Since 1987, IYG has been a positive force impacting thousands of LGBTQ youth. A significant accomplishment, since 2008, was for IYG going through the accreditation process and becoming and remaining an affiliate of the United Way of Central Indiana. 70093 Anti-Tobacco Program and Prevention - The tobacco usage by Lesbian and Gay youth is between two and three times higher than their heterosexual peers. It is felt that the rate is even higher for transgender youth. The normal adolescent stressors are magnified for LGBT youth for many reasons (social stigma, rejection and bullying). It is through IYG's anti-tobacco program that IYG strives to eliminate some of those additional stressors by forming and supporting Gay Straight Alliances in high schools and helping LGBT groups around the state to start youth services. Just the presence of a GSA in the high school has been proven to reduce the incidents of harrassment due to sexual orientation and gender identity and increase attendance by LGBT students. Staff visited and provided capacity building to 32 high schools and worked with over 640 youth and adult sponsors. HIV Prevention and Cyber Outreach Program - IYG's cyber outreach program is a very unique technique of decreasing the at-risk behaviors with young people, especially young men having sex with men. Through this program, a trained staff member enters chat rooms online and gives information and answers questions concerning safe and unsafe sex, the use of illegal drugs and their impact on at-risk behaviors, as well as information on testing sites in central Indiana. Periodic health notices are also posted with current statistics or outbreaks in HIV or STD's in central Indiana. The cyber outreach worker averages 15-16 hours per week and makes between 15 and 20 contacts per month, and posts health alerts weekly. 227203 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 10 false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false IN X X Mary Byrne 3175418726 2943 E 46th Street Indianapolis IN 46205 X Robert Bennett 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Klopchin 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary-Elise Haug 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Byrne 40.00 X 48118 0 11796 Marion Wagner 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda D Calvin 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Koeppel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Janice Klein 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Eugenia Fernandez 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eldon Marshall 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Townsend 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chad Walker 1.00 X X 0 0 0 48118 11796 0 false false false 0 30000 193354 38223 223354 Film Festival 36805 36805 36805 50 50 0 0 0 0 18628 5125 13503 13503 0 0 0 273712 50358 0 0 0 0 0 0 141966 129136 12830 0 23611 21439 2172 12249 10956 1293 0 12612 3090 9522 7050 7050 0 3362 3362 0 22740 18444 3885 411 3631 2892 739 11065 5261 142 5662 0 0 7793 7793 0 0 7031 5510 109 1412 0 0 6617 6617 4327 3079 1148 100 Repairs and Maintenance 6441 6441 Printing and Publications 4764 344 4420 Postage and Shipping 1134 303 92 739 Meals 8081 878 91 7112 Contract Labor 7919 4348 2771 800 -4239 672 214 -5125 288154 227203 41319 19632 29623 11174 37220 46757 23002 3500 0 0 0 0 0 1275 1713 150119 72810 68238 77309 0 0 0 0 0 159358 140453 3215 6877 3992 2275 6408 13615 9152 X 130938 128196 14805 3105 145743 131301 159358 140453 -14442 X false true true X false false X 152970 158892 203959 248336 223354 987511 28590 61495 54883 34220 55433 234621 0 0 0 181560 220387 258842 282556 278787 1222132 0 0 1222132 227 234 171 50 682 0 227 234 171 50 682 0 4050 440 4490 185610 220614 259076 283167 278837 1227304 0.99580 0.99510 0.00060 0.00060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5000 5000 66869 27195 39674 52564 26703 25861 25686 18912 6774 77309 273712 288154 -14442 -14442 273712 273712 273712 288154 288154 288154 false Auction 17701 17701 1276 2954 895 17701 17701 1276 2954 895 5125 12576 false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available IYG shall make available upon request the following information and documents in a timely manner: Governance documents including 1) a list of current board of directors, 2) Articles of Incorporation, 3) Bylaws, 4) code of etics, 5) conflict of interest policy, 6) whistleblower policy, 7) compensation policy, 8 ) public reporting and transparency policy, financial and IRS documents including Forms 990 and 990-T, audited financial statements amd annual report.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Form 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: LGBT Film Festival: Held each November since 2001, the LGBT Film Festival is dedicated to celebrating diversity through cinema and has played a key role in our Indianapolis's cultural and artistic identity. Films are submitted, reviewed and juried in classes such as shorts, youth shorts, documentaries and festival films. The three day event is produced entirely by a group of volunteers dedicated to bring Indianapolis the best of new LGBT cinema. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Community Education and Cultural Competency Training: Community education is the key to changing attitudes. Through education IYG strives to help parents be more accepting and understanding, help other social service workers be more sensitive and aware of the complications that being LGBT might have on the lives of the youth they serve, and help the community in general become a more welcoming place for LGBT youth. Workshops and cultural competency training are developed for parents of LGBT youth, social service workers, juvenile justice workers, foster parents, medical personnel and educators. Speaking engagements are provided to many community organizations, churches, service groups and college classes. Over 700 individuals participated in some type of workshop, training or speaking engagement given by IYG. IYG also works with the Indianapolis Public Schools, other area school districts and with the Juvenile Court in order to make their staff more informed and sensitive to the additional stresses associated with being an adolescent and LGBT. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Youth Summits and Leadership Development: IYG produces 2 youth summits per year. The spring youth summit focuses on youth leadership in high school Gay Straight Alliances and also provides capacity building for adult sponsors. The fall summit is open to all LGBT 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 floar, prom, etc.) and GSA leadership. Youth also participate in speaking engagements given to college classes, community gtroups and youth service workers.
