About - ProAct Indy

Leveraging Social Capital

We connect schools, corporations, and nonprofits to empower our youth and better serve our community through our Proactive Communities Model.

Leveraging social capital, we specialize in intentionally bringing together organizations in the city – helping groups cross social, racial, and economic boundaries through meaningful service projects & social equity training.

Our ProActive Community Model

For more than a decade, ProAct Indy has been committed to standing in the gap for vulnerable populations while empowering youth to actively transform their communities.

We bring together organizations in the city – helping groups cross social, racial, and economic boundaries – through meaningful service projects & social equity training.

Our Programs

ProAct University is an innovative curriculum that transforms the way people communicate, solve problems, make decisions, and serve diverse communities. Our experienced training partners are here to support you through in-person facilitated workshops and online training and resources.

CICs are dedicated consultants who create, manage, and implement our community engagement opportunities - bringing together businesses, nonprofits, and youth.

Community Connect is our volunteer hub used to connect and engage the community with service opportunities.

This training program helps lift up stand-out employees in the corporate sector who have a passion for service and social justice. Rising Stars serve as a group mentor to youth for 24-weeks and participate in our executive coaching and leadership development program to refine their leadership skills.

This immersive service-learning experience teaches youth how to plan and execute human-centered service projects. Youth travel to another city in the US to compare how and why social issues are being addressed differently than here in Indy.

Birthed out of our coordinated response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Pop-Up food pantry is a resource to our food insecure Marion County residents. This program brings food and resources directly to our city’s neighbors in vulnerable communities.

Geared toward students in grades 5 through 8, Kids in Action teaches the importance of community service through weekly character education workshops and monthly community service projects.

Teens in Action provides students with hands-on service opportunities throughout Indianapolis. While acquiring valuable skills and building relationships, participants build both confidence and selflessness.
