Introducing the IAN BEST Practice Section!  On the cover page, you can link directly to new information on the website that's intended to provide resources on effective after school and youth development practices from across Illinois. We want to hear about innovative program practices across many sectors of after school and youth development (Teen Reach, 21stCCLC, Family Child Care Providers, Community Based Organizations, Parks and Recreations, Faith Based Organizations, Military After School and Youth Programming, GEAR UP etc.)

If you are providing innovative programming as part of your after school and youth development program, download the form, fill it out and fax it back at 217-528-4598. After committee review and approval, we will share your BEST Practice with the field on our website. We will also compile a database for providers in the field to review, especially those looking for creative and innovative programming ideas.
