Your Life. Your Story. was developed in 2014 as a way to increase resilience in teenagers, by helping them embrace their stories and develop their sense of identity.  While the program currently focuses on Latino youth, it will  be tailored to meet the needs of other teenagers in the future.  

 

YLYS is a week long summer day camp at IUPUI in July.  Each day at camp, teenagers spend time developing their sense of self and sharing their story through unique, creative, and active outlets like the arts, music, dance, and sports.  At YLYS camp, each teenager is paired up with an IUPUI student who becomes a mentor to them for the rest of the program.
