All youth will have the resources they need to reach their full potential. 


Youth Link Southern Indiana began as Communities In Schools of Clark County in 2002 to improve school achievement. Our organization provides resources, supports, and programming to 19 schools, including all four school districts in Clark County and New Albany High School in Floyd County. Services include tutoring, mentoring, basic needs resources, mental health services, as well as before and after school programming. Our model of services ensures that the whole community comes together to support students.
