Calling All Presenters

On Friday, June 19th, APOST will be hosting the Summer Conference for youth workers and directors. We are looking for people to share their expertise and talents as workshop presenters. Directors, supervisors and frontline staff have made up the audience in the past, and we want to connect them to the wealth of field knowledge that our region has to offer!

City of Learning

The Sprout Fund is excited to announce a call for youth-serving organizations who are leading summer programs to join the City of Learning campaign. The first step in joining City of Learning is attending an orientation session in April. Attend an orientation to learn more about City of Learning, digital badges, and the services that are being offered to organizations that sign on to be part of the campaign (like free training on various topics, tech support, and grant opportunities).
