GOOD FOR YOU!  We want you to know that you’re not in it alone.  Our Start Where You Are Bar, developed with support from the Indiana Youth Institute, will help you determine where you’re strong and where you can improve.  You can even use our bar to measure your progress and schedule occasional celebrations of your success.  Simply click on the type of organization below that most closely matches the work you do, grab some board members and stakeholders and get going.
