The Indiana Point of Youth (POY) was established in 1998 following two successful youth summits sponsored by the Governor's Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana. POY is a youth led, adult guided advisory group that lends advice to the Commission on matters related youth. POY was created to engage Indiana youth in the legislative process of shaping policy for underage drinking, substance abuse, and traffic safety initiatives. 

As part of their membership, POY students develop Statewide Action Plans (SWAPs) that can be implemented at state and local levels under the guidance of their adult advisors each year.  In addition to supporting House Enrolled Act No. 1237 on seat belt legislation, POY students have identified such issues as methamphetamine use, prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse, and underage drinking as priorities during this process. As youth advocates. POY members also interact with other youth and civic groups throughout Indiana with similar concerns. POY members represent rural and urban communities throughout Indiana and are 14-17 years of age.
