The Alliance supports Indiana Ys through networking, providing opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, and encouraging ongoing professional development of Y professionals and volunteers. The Alliance:
- provides an opportunity for personal development utilizing the Culture Index Tool.
- partners with Shafer Leadership Academy to provide membership for staff to access dozens of professional development opportunities at no cost.
- provides at least two conferences annually geared toward leadership and professional development for all YMCA staff and volunteers.
- partners with Old National Bank to provide financial literacy education for staff.
- provides many opportunities for board development, through trainings/cohorts specifically targeted for board governance and Chief Volunteer Officers. We have also designed education modules specifically to help YMCA boards lead their Y to success.
The Alliance is always considering opportunities for education for both staff and volunteers. If you or your organization are interested in partnering to provide these opportunities, please contact Melissa Everhart.
