In 1998, MCCOY, Inc. led two efforts that, we believe, will help our community continue to take the steps necessary to help all young people grow up and develop well.
2
Two, funding was made available this summer for youth organizations and churches to conduct positive youth programming on Saturday evenings.
2
Through the youth mapping process, it was confirmed that the positive opportunities for youth on weekend evenings were lacking.
2
That need is being met.
2
August 4, 1999
2
As it has been an exciting year for all of us, MCCOY, Inc. cannot do its part without the support of organizations like yours.
2
Annually, we ask several of our youth serving organizations to join us in our effort to help young people grow up well in Indianapolis.
2
Enclosed is a donation card that will enable you to make Indianapolis a great place for ALL of us to live.
2
If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to call me at 921-1288.

Participants in the Youth Outcomes Educational Initiative identified three goals for all our youth to obtain: economic self-sufficiency, healthy family, social relationships, and involvement in the community.

A short time later, the Community Youth Mapping Project sent 55 young people out into the community to identify the resources they need to grow up well: caring adults, safe places to go, and positive things to do.
2
The goal of MCCOY, Inc. has been to make a difference.
2
One group of adults and one group of youth, through two very different processes, have arrived at the same conclusion; our community still has much to do if we are to help ALL of your youth successfully develop into the responsible, productive adults who will our community in the future.
2
It is our goal that every young person in Marion County have access to the programs and services that can best assist them in their growth toward a positive adulthood.
2
I am hopeful that you as an individual and Meridian Insurance as a corporation might consider becoming sustaining supporters of MCCOY.
2
I obviously can't tell the whole story of MCCOY in a single letter but I hope this provides an overview of the scope of our work.
2
Please consider joining together with your fellow citizens in support of the work of the Marion County Commission on Youth.

MCCOY Inc., originally founded as a government agency but re-organized in 1993 as an independent not-for-profit, is a county-wide youth services coordinating, planning, and convening agency.
2
Its purpose is to encourage collaboration and cooperation between the various agencies, programs, and systems that serve our community's youth.
2
Dear Bill:
2
In addition to that behind-the-scenes role, MCCOY has taken an out-front role in developing a Summer Bus Pass, neighborhood youth councils, and the We Value Youth information line.
2
This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ways to do things differently, things that will make our lives better and improve the quality of our life.
2
The formation of The Community Academy, a pilot project directed at expelled students from local school systems, has come about as a result of MCCOY's efforts to mobilize community agencies in response to a pressing issue.
2
McCoy is actively represented and working with numerous community collaborations where we regularly raise our voice to speak out for the inclusion of young people in both decision-making and program planning processes.
2
One concrete example is a joint project undertaken in the United Northwest Area in partnership with The Junior League of Indianapolis and Community Partnerships with Youth from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
3
As a team, these three organizations are working with neighborhood youth and adults to build a "Caring Neighborhood with Youth" , mobilizing the assets of young people and adults as partners to build a better neighborhood for all.

October 7, 1996

Since its re-organization, MCCOY has established its unique niche within the community by refraining from direct service programming and focusing on what it does best: helping to identify youth needs, convening groups of individuals and organizations which can address those needs, and moving toward collaborative solutions.
2
MCCOY was reorganized as an independent, not-for-profit agency, separate from local government.
2
McCoy invites the support of The __ Company Foundation in the amount of $10,000.00 to support such activities as:
2
---- the co-ordination of youth leadership training and youth empowerment efforts at the neighborhood level by means of neighborhood-based youth councils;
2
---- the promotion of youth employment opportunities;
2
---- the facilitation of ongoing discussions regarding effective and efficient youth service delivery;
2
---- the provision of technical assistance and guidance to neighborhoods which seek positive youth-adult relationships;
2
---- the development of community-wide supports for the positive growth of all Marion County young people.
2
In the last several years, the business and corporate community has recognized that the positive development of youth is directly related to the development of a competent workforce.
2
Youth who are supported and encouraged by both a family and a society that values Them have a much greater likelihood of becoming productive and contributing members of adult society.
2
While we have made significant inroads, there remains much to be done and it is clear that we cannot do it alone.
2
We seek the financial support of the Foundation to help us be successful in creating the atmosphere in our community where young people can grow and develop well.

2
In our fund raising efforts to date, we have received the support of local government, foundations, and corporations as well as the personal financial commitments of individual MCCOY Board members.
2
We believe there is no more appropriate time to have a coordinated and collaborative effort to financially support the services MCCOY offers to the community as a whole.
2
Thanking you in advance for your support, we remain,
2
Sincerely,
2
For the past three years, MCCOY has been actively engaged in accomplishing this declared mission in cooperation with many others: youth service providers, youth, funding bodies, and interested citizens to name a few.
2
We have met with a number of successes along the way, most notably the Summer Fun Line, the Metro Summer Bus Pass, and the development of ten neighborhood youth councils.
2
In the summer of 1993, the Marion County Commission on Youth began what can best be described as a "new era" in its history.
