Overview
Brief Program Summary: The purpose of MelanatED Leaders is to create a community where
Black and Latino leaders across Central Indiana have an opportunity to connect with and support
one another in their short- and long-term career challenges and aspirations. MelanatED Leaders
seeks to address the lack of leaders of color at the highest levels in schools and youth-serving
nonprofit organizations across Indianapolis by empowering and elevating leaders of color.
Success Metrics: The goal of MelanatED Leaders is to increase opportunities for Black and
Latinx individuals to serve in leadership roles in our community. Impact measures include people
of color being promoted into leadership positions in education and youth-serving organizations in
Indianapolis and educators of color throughout the state having a network of other educators and
leaders of color to serve as mentors and supporters. This data is not yet available.
