Partners In Housing – $25,000 Grant
The Indianapolis Rotary Foundation recently granted Partners in Housing, $25,000.
The mission of Partners In Housing is to provide affordable housing to people who most need a stable place to live, while giving them support and a chance to reach their highest level of self-sufficiency.
To clarify the PIH mission we define our target population as people who: (a) have experienced homelessness (chronic or situational); (b) are actively at risk of homelessness due to a history of multiple challenges, such as extremely low income, minimal or no support network, chronic illness, disabilities, and other special needs; or (c) are vulnerable due solely to extremely low incomes even though they may have a support network and have no other significant risk factors.

Rotarians Judge Science Fair
In June, Rotarians judged a Science Fair at IPS Christian Park Elementary School 82. All grades participated in their first ever science fair. Students were thoroughly engaged, entertaining and genuinely excited about the fair and the experiments they produced. Some projects were completed individually while other were done as group projects. Our judging focus was to ensure that students understood the ideas behind what a hypothesis is and why it was important. This school’s students were delightful and engaged. See all the photos.

Rotary & JA BizTown
On May 8, 2013, Rotarians and others helped with JA BizTown, an effort lead by Rotarian, Lauren Scheldrup. There was wonderful feedback from the teachers and students. Knowledge and experience is invaluable to students and JA cannot thank Rotarians enough for their support.
If you are ever interested in volunteering in the future, Junior Acheivement of Central Indiana is always in need of JA In-School, JA BizTown and JA Finance Park Virtual volunteers.
Here are few of the testimonials from that day…
I want to say a special thank you to Lauren and Sheila for encouraging me to do this. This was a great way for those students to learn a number of important academic and life skills by doing something that the young people obviously enjoyed. It was good to see the enthusiasm, cooperative attitudes and desires to do well that my group exhibited. While I do not know how much I contributed to their learning, it was very interesting and fun to be part of the process.
Tom MasonGreetings All,
It was quite fun to spend time with kids on a well run and thought out program. AND, the time with my fellow Rotarians was quite enjoyable! Well done all….
Cassie StockampI was impressed with how well run and organized everything was and the kids and volunteers were great. We were glad we participated.
Robyn CrossonDear Fellow Rotarians,
Please allow me to add my sincere thanks to all of you for helping us foster JA’s mission of inspiring and empowering young people to own their economic success. JA of Central Indiana will make a difference in the lives of over 15,000 students this school year, and your support as volunteer mentors is what makes that possible!I look forward to many future opportunities to work together to support our wonderful community.
Jennifer BurkI would also like to thank all of you for volunteering in our JA BizTown simulation We appreciate you taking the time to lend a hand to JA, and in helping us to guide our areas youth to believe in their potential.
