INSight Youth Corps
What is the INSight Youth Corps?
The INSight Youth Corps is a student-led initiative that was developed out of INShape Indiana. The INSight Youth Corps prepares and empowers high school students to provide health education within their school system, as well as design and carry out various creative health-related individual and community-based projects. The INSight Youth Corps is designed to provide experience-based learning, enhance personal and academic achievement, and build leadership skills among its members, preparing them for future success and commitment to lifelong healthy lifestyles and health advocacy.
What is INShape Indiana?
INShape Indiana is Governor Mitch Daniels' statewide health initiative. INShape Indiana is about helping Hoosiers to make healthy choices by linking them to valuable resources and offering a fun challenge to improve their health and well-being. INShape Indiana is not another program; it is an initiative to coordinate the many efforts taking place across the state to combat obesity and smoking.
Vision
The vision of the INSight Youth Corps is to develop a statewide network of high school students trained as mentors and leaders to promote, model, and teach healthy behaviors in their schools and communities.
INSight Youth Corps Mission and Values

Special Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge the students and faculty of Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Broad Ripple High School served as the pilot site for the INSight Youth Corps. The students and faculty provided valuable insight and inspiration in the overall development of this program. Without their time, effort, and hard work, this project would not have been possible.
