It is the goal of IYAC to positively impact the communities in which we travel for each AIM convention. During this program, IYAC will collect donations of brand new school supplies to give away to youth in and around the Indianapolis area. The give-away will be hosted at a local church. In the past, we have worked with, Walmart, Target, and other corporations to help fund this effort.

During the Annual Back 2 School Giveaway, IYAC will share a refreshing bottle of water on the streets of downtown Indianapolis. Based on John 4:10, the bottles will have inspirational quotes and scriptures attached and will be used to foster conversation and the opportunity to witness. Water will be donated by local corporations.

This initiative appeals to young men and women who are interested in video gaming. It fosters good sportsmanship, networking with other christian youth, and fun! The Game Room was a hit during AIM 2015 in Tampa, FL and sold many tickets. IYAC will work with gaming companies and/or gaming rental companies to provide consoles, TVs, and games.

IYAC recognizes a need for opportunities for youth to deal with important issues in outside of worship services settings. The IYAC Meet and Greet will be a time of networking and conversation on topics such as internet safety, social injustice, and more. The event will include free snacks.
