As part of the Uplands Smart Start team, you will support a regional effort to expand access to high-quality early care and education. Uplands Smart Start plays a leading role in Ready Early Learning in the Indiana Uplands (RELU)—a coordinated approach developed in partnership with 10 community foundations and stakeholders to sustainably improve access, affordability, and quality of early childhood education across the region. This work is funded through Lilly Endowment’s GIFT VIII initiative. You will serve as the Uplands Smart Start Coordinator for SDA 2, supporting early childhood efforts in Lawrence, Martin, and Daviess counties. In this role, you will collaborate with local coalitions, providers, community foundations, and other stakeholders to advance county-specific goals while contributing to broader regional outcomes.
