Youth Social Action is a youth development approach that empowers young people to identify issues affecting their schools, neighborhoods, and communities and take meaningful action to address them. Rather than viewing youth as recipients of services, Youth Social Action positions them as leaders, problem-solvers, and change agents capable of creating positive community impact. Through this process, young people develop critical life skills, including leadership, communication, teamwork, civic engagement, and decision-making, while gaining confidence in their ability to influence the world around them.

Any organization/agency that works with/serves youth ages 12-24 in our seven-county service area can apply for up to $5,000 in funding to support a youth social action project in partnership with youth within their respective agency/organization/community.

Safe and affordable housing is foundational to all of this and is a common need we hear about across our regional community. Metro United Way is hard at work to address this need and has lifted housing as a priority area of focus in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison Counties and have partnered with New Directions Housing Corporation in elevating Repair Affair in Southern Indiana.

Download the application for program requirements. Recipients are based on a first come first service basis. We look for repairs that will improve the home’s safety, security, and weather efficiency. Repair Affair is not a decorating, remodeling, or emergency repair program. ALL application requirements must be met for consideration.
