At Discovery Café Indy, we believe that every young person deserves a space where they are seen, heard, and supported. Adolescence is a time of exploration, challenge, and transformation—but too often, youth face obstacles like instability, mental health struggles, and a lack of positive role models.
That’s why Discovery Café exists—to provide a safe, nurturing environment where young people can build resilience, gain life skills, and discover their full potential. Through mentorship, creative expression, and personal development, we empower youth ages 12-17 to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and hope.
At Discovery Café, we meet youth where they are and equip them with the tools and support they need to grow into strong, confident, and purpose-driven individuals.
Discovery Café Indy is more than just a youth program—it’s a community of encouragement and possibility. We create a space where youth can build meaningful relationships, develop essential skills, and see a future beyond their current circumstances.
Here, young people can:
✨ Find Mentorship & Guidance – Caring adults and peer mentors provide encouragement and direction
🎨 Explore Creativity & Expression – Art, music, and storytelling workshops allow youth to express themselves
📚 Develop Life & Leadership Skills – Practical training in decision-making, goal setting, and career exploration
💬 Engage in Peer Support – A supportive community where youth can share their experiences and learn from each other
🏆 Gain Confidence & Purpose – Programs designed to help youth overcome challenges and step into their potential
When young people are given the right support, encouragement, and resources, they can break cycles, overcome obstacles, and build a future full of promise.
Discovery Café is open to youth ages 12-17 who are looking for a safe space to grow, connect, and discover their strengths. Whether they’re facing challenges or simply seeking guidance, every young person is welcomed, valued, and supported.

✔ Need mentorship and a positive support system
✔ Are struggling with life transitions, instability, or mental health challenges
