Welcome
Fishers Youth Assistance Program (FYAP) provides professional, family-centered casework and referral services to students (ages 3 to 17) and families who reside within the Hamilton Southeastern School District. Casework services to our families are completely confidential. Kids and families are often referred to our services by the schools, police, court officials and parents with concerns about their child.
FYAP works in collaboration with the Hamilton Southeastern School District, the City of Fishers, and the Hamilton County Superior Court. FYAP is one of six offices serving students and their families in Hamilton County, Indiana.
Our Services

FYAP works with partner organizations to identify families who need assistance and also with volunteers to prepare and deliver meals. In 2019, the program served more than 55,000 meals to 650 children in our community.
Tutoring
FYAP works with the HSE Faculty and Staff pool of professionals to ensure students have access to the academic support they need to be successful. Tutoring varies on a case-by-case basis and is presently only offered for active FYAP clients or those recommended from HSE Schools. Tutors are contracted to meet with a student once a week for 45-60 minutes. Tutoring occurs before and after school as set up by both tutor and family availability.

Mentoring

We work with the parents/caregivers to select the mentor program that will provide the most benefit to the child in providing companionship and adult role modeling.
