Now is the time to tell our story. Where do you start? How do you frame it? How do you communicate the value of what we do? The solution: The Unplug Illinois Transformation Kit.

What is it? Designed with your needs in mind, the Unplug Illinois Transformation Kit is equipped to provide you with the resources, templates, tools and inspiration needed to communicate the value of parks and recreation through education and storytelling.

Join us on Wednesday, January 13 at 11:00 a.m. for an informational webinar, designed to review the benefits of the Unplug Illinois program and ways it can be used at your park and recreation agency.
