Start the Summit with a series of personal stories from leaders across Indiana’s out-of-school time community. In this opening session, Kim Grizzel (Boys & Girls Clubs of Harrison-Crawford Counties), Lillian Barkes (Listen to Our Future Inc), and LaNisha Clark (Freewheelin’ Community Bikes) will each share a brief reflection on what brought them to this work - and what keeps them committed.

These short, intentional stories are rooted in real experience and focused on a single idea: why out-of-school time matters for young people and communities. Together, they offer a meaningful reminder of the purpose behind our work and the impact it can have.
