Chances and Services for Youth (CASY)
Biography
CASY is a part of the Child Care Resource and Referral Network serving community organizations, employers, early learning programs, and families with young children. Our goal is to improve children’s lives through parent education, quality childcare resources, and leadership on children’s issues through the community. We serve 24 counties in Central Indiana from Vigo County across the state to Wayne County.
Some of the specific things we do are:
– Provide free, customized childcare referrals
– Educate families on choosing a quality childcare program
– On-site childcare referrals
– Provide emerging childcare providers the information they need to open their program
– Build partnerships with other youth-serving organizations
– Help businesses understand their employees’ needs for child care and develop work-life supports related to child care for employees
– Be an advocate in the community to share information about the lack of accessible, affordable, high-quality childcare
