IYG celebrates its 25th anniversary!
Time flies...just 25 years ago Chris Gonzalez, his partner Jeff Werner, and many of the volunteers at the Gay and Lesbian Switchboard realized that when youth called into the switchboard, there were no resources available for them. That impetus was the beginning of Indiana Youth Group.
Did you know that the IYG activity center was purchased with a grant from the Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis in 1992?

Much appreciation goes to the individuals who serve on IYG's Board of Directors. They are hard working, totally-invested volunteers, and are ultimately responsible for the stability of IYG! IYG is a strong and viable organization thanks to these board members.
