COMMUNITY SERVICE. REDEFINED.

At ProAct, our employees and volunteers work hard to create and maintain valuable partnerships with schools and other community nonprofits to conduct community service projects around Indianapolis. We focus on building and fostering these relationships so the connections and experiences can be used to positively shape our youth. Students develop a wide-range of social and emotional skills that are essential for their success and future that will help them thrive and work hard both inside and outside of school.

Youth need both mentors and peers in their lives that challenge them, but also provide support, share power and expand possibilities. ProAct redefines the meaning of community service resulting in a profound impact on the students, community and all those involved .

ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

Founded in 2010, ProAct is a champion of service learning. As a 501c3 nonprofit, we collaborate with community leaders and professional organizations to provide community outreach service projects for economically disadvantaged youth in Marion County and beyond.

Our youth are not the recipients of community service, they are the givers and creators of the projects that help build and support our community. Working alongside Indianapolis professional groups, organizations, and volunteers, students are exposed to diverse communities and experiences that they otherwise wouldn’t have access to.
