The Indiana Youth Advisory Board is proud to invite young people transitioning out of foster care across Indiana to IYAB’s Annual Youth Conference! This conference is an event designed by IYAB members that provides resources, education, and tools to young people (age 14-22). We are glad to extend an invitation to all adults supporting those youth to join this event.

THIS YEAR WE ENCOURAGE ATTENDEES TO DREAM BIG ABOUT THEIR FUTURES!
