The Indianola Community Youth Foundation (ICYF) is gearing up for a series of engaging activities aimed at boosting local youth involvement. In a recent episode of the “Let’s Talk Indianola” series hosted by Peoples Bank, Executive Director Taylor Litchkey shared insights about the upcoming events and initiatives designed to foster community engagement among young residents.
During the discussion, Litchkey emphasized the foundation’s commitment to providing enriching experiences for youth in the Indianola area. The ICYF plans to launch a variety of programs throughout October 2023, focusing on skill development, leadership, and community service. These initiatives are intended to empower young people and encourage them to take active roles in their community.
One of the highlighted activities is a community service project scheduled for later this month. Participants will engage in activities that not only benefit local organizations but also provide valuable learning experiences. Litchkey noted that these projects are essential for building teamwork and leadership skills among participants.
In addition to community service, ICYF is also organizing workshops and seminars aimed at personal and professional development. These sessions will cover topics such as financial literacy, resume building, and public speaking. Litchkey explained that equipping youth with these skills is vital for their future success.
The excitement surrounding these events is palpable. Litchkey invites all local youth to participate and take advantage of the resources available through the foundation. “We are here to support our young people in every way possible,” he stated during the program.
The Indianola Community Youth Foundation continues to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the community’s youth. By fostering a sense of belonging and equipping them with essential life skills, ICYF is helping to create a brighter future for all. As the events unfold, the foundation looks forward to seeing the positive impact on participants and the broader community.
