Its proximity to Chicago means access to one of the world’s largest metropolises and the influence of cutting-edge culture, melded with Midwesterners' common sense, determination and "can do” spirit.
That mix makes "Indy” a natural host city for our
Summer Changes Everything
TM national conference. Indianapolis is a community that realizes it can’t continue to operate the same way year after year and yet expect different results. Our Association has actively partnered with the
Indianapolis Summer Youth Program Fund to share research on "summer slide” and conduct a scan of available summer learning resources to assess need. What’s more, summer learning stakeholders are collaborating in exciting ways to take action and address the need for high-quality summer learning by forming a professional learning community and working to implement research-based quality standards.
Come learn about Indy as a model of collaboration, pick up some tips and best practices from other top programs across the country, and discover what you can take back to your own community by attending -- or possibly even presenting at -- the
Summer Changes EverythingTM national conference.
