Are you passionate about Indiana’s afterschool and summer learning programs?
Would you like to turn that passion into action as a leader and advisor for the future of Indiana’s programs and professionals?
The purpose of the Indiana Afterschool Network Provider Council is for out-school-time programs and partners to strategically advise and collaborate on elevating the access to and quality of programs statewide.
IAN Provider Council members are a select group of leaders (of all levels of experience) in Indiana who commit to two years of engagement with the Network to ensure the success of our statewide initiatives, support effective programs, and bring diverse partners to the table.
We hope to comprise a council that represents a diverse geography, program type, race ethnicity, gender. Now more than ever, we need advocates to support programs that are serving the needs of youth, families, and their community.
