Executive Director Letter
Dear Supporters:
I struggled with poverty myself and joining ProAct gave me the opportunity to give back to other people
and really show compassion to people who experience what I experienced. This is the testimony given by
LeAsia Williams, a 17-year old high school senior, as she reflected on her service learning experience from
the past year. ProAct was founded in 2010 and became a 501(c)(3) organization in 2012 in order to make a
difference in how youth and communities experienced one another. ProAct is a service learning organization
that seeks to serve through youth rather than to them. Our mission is to engage youth in public service that
educates, delights, and inspires the youth and those they serve.
Last year, ProAct, in partnership with 24 community organizations, engaged over 2,000 economically
disadvantaged boys and girls in public service to Indianapolis. These youths logged in over 10,000 hours of
community service in 126 projects. But were not looking back---because young people dont stop growing up
and the need for positive supports for their growth keeps expanding as well. As we push forward into a new
year, demand for our programs and services continues to grow as more schools and communities want to see
our innovative service-learning programs teach these children that they can make a difference no matter
their situation. Through our programs, students will have the opportunity to learn important perspectives,
skills, and values.
At a time when every smart donor is looking to make the greatest impact, supporting ProAct is a way to
reach that objective. Please, help us spread the joy of serving as we pursue our goal that every young person
in our community has available to them all the things every good parent would provide---access to positive
activities, opportunities to learn and develop skills, and lots of supportive and caring relationships.
We look forward to working in partnership with you to make this become a reality for many more boys
and girls next year. Warm wishes for your health and prosperity.
Respectfully,
Derrin Slack
Founder and Executive Director
