Indy Summer Youth Programs Orientation Registration
Each year, Indy Summer Youth Programs awards more than $3 million to support high-quality summer programming for Marion County youth. The annual orientation, brings together funders and program providers for a morning of learning and networking at the kick-off to the application cycle.
New this year, we’re offering an optional grant clinic after the orientation for those who want to stay and get help with their applications. Get drop-in technical assistance with Smart Simple, or meet with funders for advice on program design, evaluation, budgeting or other topics. If you plan to attend the grant clinic, be sure to mark the topic you are most interested in on the registration form, and to bring your laptop to the event. Box lunches are available to those who RSVP in advance for the grant clinic. RSVP by Sept. 5 to guarantee your lunch and seat in the grant clinic.
We’re also excited to be joined by representatives from MCCOY, Indiana Afterschool Network and the Grantwriting Professionals Association to help Indiana Summer Youth Program Fund partners grow their networks and technical expertise.
