Welcome

Carmel Youth Assistance Program (CYAP) was formed in Fall 2015 to help strengthen youth and families through community involvement.  Like other peer Youth Assistance Programs throughout Hamilton County, local volunteers develop and provide access to programs and services that promote positive growth experiences and enhance home and community relationships.

CYAP works in collaboration with the Carmel Clay School District, City of Carmel, and the Hamilton County Superior Court.  CYAP is one of six offices serving students and their families in Hamilton County, Indiana. 

CYAP provides professional coordination of services and referral services to students and families of the Carmel Clay School District.  Casework services to our families are completely confidential. Kids and families are often referred to our services by the schools, police, and court officials.

CYAP connects families and youth to various resources including mentoring, tutoring, mental health supports, food and clothing assistance, financial assistance, and much more!

Alongside our staff is an amazing volunteer Board of Directors. Click here to meet our team!
