Services are available to youth, ages 3 to 17, who reside within the Carmel Clay School District.
Services are voluntary, confidential and are provided at no cost to the family. Once families consent to services, the early intervention advocate (EIA) helps design an individualized plan that addresses the youth’s obstacles and supports needed while also recognizing the strengths and interests of the youth and continuing to nurture those areas.
- Mentoring program is provided by trusted local CYAP volunteers and are selected based on the unique needs of each youth and the personal challenges they are facing. We work with the parents/caregiver to select the mentor that will provide the most benefit to the youth in providing companionship and adult role modeling.
