Summary
Indiana Afterschool Network (IAN) Town Halls give providers of before school, after school, and summer youth programming the chance to share their stories, challenges, and policy recommendations with us. The discussion will be focused on addressing the sustainability concerns of the out-of-school time (OST) field!
By sharing your opinions and challenges with us, you help shape IAN's public policy priorities and guide how we represent you in our advocacy work to local, state, and federally elected officials. We cannot advocate on your behalf without hearing your first-hand accounts about how to address the OST field's largest challenges! Additionally, it's a great networking opportunity to meet other youth workers and OST providers!
