LOA Afterschool Champion Nomination Form Question Title Annually, the Idaho Out-of-School Network (ION) recognizes professionals who support youth 'out-of-school' in our state. Please use this form to nominate a member of your community who is a champion of youth in out-of-school programs. Nominations for Champions can be in any of the following categories: Afterschool Program Staff: These are the heart and soul of our programs, creating engaging, safe, and nurturing spaces for our young learners. Their dedication and creativity truly make afterschool hours a blast! These staff, directors, and program administrators make out-of-school great! School Day Partners: Collaboration is key, and these champions excel in bridging the gap between the school day and out-of-school. If you know a teacher, principal, or school board member who goes above and beyond to support out-of-school efforts, please nominate them. Afterschool Advocates: These incredible advocates are the backbone of our movement, tirelessly working to ensure that out-of-school opportunities are accessible and valued by all. They're the voice that amplifies the importance of quality out-of-school experiences. These Champions may include Mayors, Legislators, or City Council Members. Youth Leaders: Our young leaders are the future! They inspire, motivate, and take the lead in shaping out-of-school activities, bringing fresh perspectives and boundless energy to the table.
