The Office of School Partnerships is launching the second year of two collaborative networks to deepen connections among faculty, staff and community members across the state.

The P–12 Response Network and the Youth-Serving Programs Network bring together Indiana University faculty and staff with education and youth leaders to share insights, align resources and advance responsive engagement that benefits students, schools and communities.

Registration is open for the P–12 Response Network’s first meeting of the fall semester on Oct. 21. Participants will explore insights from an annual school leaders survey conducted by the Office of School Partnerships, discover how proposal development services can support your work and share priorities for strengthening responsive P–12 engagement and partnerships across Indiana.

Registration is open also for the first meeting of the Youth-Serving Programs Network on Oct. 28, where attendees will connect with partners from the Indiana Afterschool Network to explore how IU and community organizations can work together to expand opportunities for youth.

Learn what the network does, hear about current needs among out-of-school programs, and collaborate on ideas and funding strategies for projects that strengthen youth-serving programs across Indiana. The Office of School Partnerships will also introduce new training modules for IU youth-serving program directors and staff, now available through IU Expand.

These networks are part of the office’s ongoing effort to foster collaboration, amplify impact and build sustainable partnerships that serve youth from early learning through college and beyond.
