Grow Allen

Growing Education Opportunities in Allen County

Grow Allen provides collaboration, connection, and coordinated resources to youth-serving organizations in Allen County, creating better educational opportunities for all students.

We envision an empowered, future-ready Allen County where high school graduates are equipped with lifelong learning opportunities and credentials that drive individual success and regional vitality.

Less than 43% of residents aged 25 to 64 in Northeast Indiana hold a degree or credential valued in the labor market. Grow Allen builds relationships with key employers, high schools, career academies, and specialized education providers to expand the number of work-based learning opportunities available to students in emerging industries.
