Youth Opportunity Center If we can help save a child, then why couldn't that child save the family, the neighborhood, the community, the world. How does this happen?

More than a beautiful 75 acre campus, and beyond an accredited program or diplomas on office walls, the YOC is about people helping people. Not just in small ways, but in life changing ways. Since the early 90s, the YOC has provided a safe place for troubled children and families. Now, almost two decades later, hundreds of individuals have been helped by the 400+ YOC staff members who dedicate themselves each day to making a difference in a child's life. At the YOC everyone brings their own talents and gifts to the table, whether it's a winning smile, broad shoulders, strong backbone, helping hands or a heart for kids. We all know and believe in the mission of the YOC. And everyone has personally accepted the challenge to help those who are in crisis situations get back on their feet. A difficult task, but it can be accomplished together. Because if we can help save a child, then why couldn't that child save the family, the neighborhood, the community, the world.

We wanted to share that our campus along the White River was not affected by the recent flooding in Muncie (and in so many other communities in East Central and Central Indiana). The photos below are from our exercise field (the "Back 40") nearest the river. They were taken on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. and Friday at 6:00 p.m. The river got closer to our buildings than we ever imagined possible, but there was still a good margin of distance. We also did not experience power outages.

We appreciate the emails, calls, and messages from friends, colleagues, and supporters throughout the state and beyond who checked in as they saw the news reports from our area. Along with the rest of our community, we are saddened by the tragic loss of life and property in Delaware County. We are relieved to report that our kids and staff stayed safe throughout.
