Long Island Educators Network
About this Network:
Education Directors and Youth/Teen Educators in the Long Island Innovators Network will join together to grapple with big questions and new ideas which will help guide programs towards an innovative future. As we learn from each other, participants will deepen their relationships among colleagues, share highlights of their work, raise issues of concern, and collaboratively create solutions.
Additional Information:
- This network is open to new members on Long Island.
- This network is designed for congregational and independent directors of education, as well as youth/teen educators.
- This network will meet both in-person and virtually.
- Youth and Teen Educators are encouraged to join the New York Area Youth Professionals Network to connect with colleagues across the New York area in similar roles serving teens and tweens. Loen and Ivy will coordinate programming to ensure that you have a network experience that fits your role and needs.
