Our Purpose

IOCC big picture goal is to build a more just, resilient and inclusive Indian Orchard - where youth are empowered to lead solutions rooted in lived experience.  We formed this youth council initiate to address food insecurity mpt kist as a lack of resources, but as a symptom of deeper systemic inequities.  By engaging the youth in creative advocacy, community based research, we aim to shift our power, uplift marginalized voices and foster long-term regeneration.    IOCC work is grounded in the believe that youth prosper with connection and every young person deserves nourishment, dignity and a seat at the table.
