FREE TRAINING offered by Shafer Leadership Academy!

Thanks to a generous grant, Shafer Leadership Academy is offering its highly sought-after program, Fusion: Leading Multi-Generational Teams, free of charge to the public. Typically valued at $250 per participant, the program will be held on October 29, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at Ivy Tech’s Fisher Building in Muncie.

The grant was provided by American Electric Power Foundation, whose support makes it possible for a wider audience to access this dynamic leadership training. Fusion is an interactive workshop designed to help participants understand the perspectives and work styles of five distinct generations—from the Greatest Generation to Gen Z. The program uses Shafer’s proprietary Generational Game Board, fostering stimulating discussions and hands-on learning in a collaborative environment.

“This partnership with Indiana Michigan Power allows us to offer one of our most popular programs at no cost, opening the door for many who may not have had the opportunity before,” said Mitch Isaacs, Executive Director of Shafer Leadership Academy. “We’re excited to bring more people into this experience and help them foster greater understanding and collaboration across generations.”

Program Highlights:

  • Interactive discussions facilitated by the unique Generational Game Board.
  • Insights into the social, political, and economic influences shaping generational perspectives.
  • Strategies to promote effective collaboration and leadership in multi-generational teams.

Due to the free access and popularity of the Fusion program, this session is expected to fill quickly. Those interested are encouraged to register early.

Homecoming and Halloween mean there’s lots of fun fall activities on campus this month!

Transforming Lives: The Impact of the YMCA

“We are excited about the opening of our new YMCA facility on the campus of Muncie Central High School. This partnership marks a significant step in our mission to support and uplift the community through health, wellness, and education.

Creating Opportunities for All:
Our new facility is more than just a building; it’s a hub for positive change. By providing access to state-of-the-art fitness equipment, diverse exercise classes, and recreational activities, we are empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

Empowering Students:
Integrating the YMCA within Muncie Central High School creates unique opportunities for students. Our programs promote physical wellness, leadership development, workforce development opportunities and academic support, helping students thrive both in and out of the classroom. After-school programs and sports leagues offer safe, engaging environments where young people can build confidence and lifelong skills.

Strengthening Families:
We believe that strong families are the foundation of a strong community. The YMCA offers family-friendly activities and resources that encourage families to spend quality time together. From swim lessons to family fitness classes, we are dedicated to supporting family bonds and fostering healthy habits from a young age.

Enhancing Community Health:
With a focus on holistic wellness, our new facility will provide resources for mental and physical health through our partnership with Open Door Health Services, IU Health and Ball State Healthy Lifestyle Center. Access to group exercise classes like yoga, along with wellness workshops, will ensure that community members have the tools they need to maintain balanced, healthy lifestyles.

Building Community Connections:
The YMCA has always been about community, and our new facility will serve as a gathering place where friendships are formed and support networks are built. We offer spaces for community events, volunteer opportunities, and programs that bring people together to work towards common goals.

Thank you for being a valued member of our YMCA community. Together, we are making Muncie a healthier, stronger, and more connected place to live.
