BEST PRACTICE: ZOMBIE TEEN SUMMIT For the first time in INNG history, the 2014 Teen Council planned and orchestrated a Teen
Summit. The three day weekend was attended by 19 National Guard Teens and offered
educational and leadership training. All elements of the weekend were design by the Teen
Council in partnership with Indianapolis’s Peace Learning Center during the course of
FY2014. The tagline for the event was “Stress Isn’t the End of the World” and activities
incorporated a zombie apocalypse theme, including a costumed Zombie Prom, paintball,
and games. Workshop topics included: coping with stressors of teen life, preparing for col-
lege, and community involvement. The Teen Summit is now an annual event orchestrated
each year by the current Teen Council.
BEST PRACTICE: STATE YOUTH SYMPOSIUM During Youth Symposium 2014, we partnered with national organizations and youth serving,
local non-profits to offer the most dynamic program yet! Nine13 Sports, an Indianapolis
non-profit, trained youth on the importance of physical fitness through the use of profes-
sional cycling simulators, Old National Bank taught real world financial skills, and Act Out,
another local non-profit, led interactive theater addressing bullying. Attendees also de-
signed and taste-tested nutritional smoothes and crafted blankets donated to the Peyton
Manning Children’s Hospital. In the future we intend to continue to design multi-
dimensional programming that incorporates a variety of healthy living components in order
to grow well rounded youth.
The kids seem to really love all of the events
put on. Most importantly they are around
people who are positive role models and en-
courage our children to make positive life
choices and to be leaders.

My children love going to camp and they feel closer to their dad when
chatting up their ‘Army’ experiences.
