Each month, EmpowerED Families, in partnership with Stand for Children Indiana, brings youth together at engaging locations where they can explore advocacy, leadership, and how change happens at the local level. The group also takes action by developing campaigns focused on issues impacting young people across our city.

Last month, students gathered at a bowling alley where they bowled, played laser tag, and continued learning about advocacy in a fun, interactive setting.

The newly created Indianapolis Public Education Corporation (IPEC) is designed to bring more coordination, fairness, and access to schools across the city for IPS families and charter families alike.

But how it unfolds depends on community engagement.

The IPEC is already getting to work, and the decisions being made right now will shape Indianapolis schools for years to come

Indianapolis schools spark some of our city's most passionate conversations, and that's a good thing.

Better Together is a space for parents, neighbors, educators, and community members to turn that energy into real change. We exist to make sure parents and community members have a seat at the table.

Big changes are underway for Indianapolis public education, and your voice matters.
We believe every perspective deserves to be heard and that we're stronger when we work through our differences, not around them.
