Championing Youth and Families in Hamilton County
At the Youth Assistance Program, advocacy is at the heart of everything we do. Our professional staff and dedicated board members work tirelessly to represent the interests of youth and families in our communities, ensuring they have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.
We actively collaborate with the Hamilton County Court system, local police departments, school districts, and elected leaders to secure ongoing funding and essential resources for our programs. Through these partnerships, we aim to strengthen the network of support for young people facing challenging life circumstances, empowering them to build successful futures.

This collaboration involves early intervention efforts, resource sharing, joint programming, and ongoing communication. By working together, NYAP and Noblesville Schools aim to identify and address student needs proactively, ensure access to vital resources, and provide coordinated support services to students and their families.
- Community Organizations: Partnerships with local organizations such as the Trustees, Agape, and Boys and Girls Club, mental health providers, to provide access to a wider range of resources, including food pantries, mental health services, and enrichment.
- Local Businesses: Support from local businesses can provide funding, in-kind donations, and volunteer opportunities.
