Our Mission
To advance the professional practice of youth development.

Indiana YouthPRO Association (YouthPRO) began as the Indiana School Age Consortium (ISAC) in 1986 and transformed to YouthPRO in January of 2007. While ISAC traditionally was associated with "school-age care," YouthPRO is reaching out to all who provide services to youth ages 5 to 18 in a variety of settings. This shift tracks with the national movement to broaden professional services for workers in all areas of child and youth development, a field that is growing in size and scope.

Our Values
YouthPRO Guiding Values:

  • The profession of caring for and developing young people is essential to the growth and development of healthy communities throughout the state of Indiana
  • Highly trained, well-skilled and caring youth workers lead to excellent programs and services for Indiana's youth
  • High retention of qualified youth workers will occur as a result of universally-recognized career paths with continual opportunity for advancement; and pay and benefits commensurate with experience and education
  • Youth workers are able to be more successful when they collaborate, cooperate, and support one another rather than work in isolation
  • A positive community of peers is foundational to attracting, retaining and sustaining quality youth workers
