Whether you are heading back to school as a teacher/faculty member, sending your kids back to school, going to get some extra learning yourself, or are excited because you’re finally not going back to school, come join us at Central Standard Brewing!

On Tuesday, August 15, enjoy discounts on local brews as we network with fellow members. Local food truck Let Em Eat Brats will be there serving food for purchase.

To celebrate the importance of a strong education system throughout our community, YPW has partnered with Wichita Public Schools on this Back to School mingle. We also invite teachers, faculty, staff, and administration from all area school districts and higher education institutions to join us.

REGISTER – Registration closes August 14 at 5 p.m. Walk-up attendees are welcome. The venue does have a capacity limit, so please be patient if a line forms to enter.

Thank you to Mingle Event Sponsor, WSU Office of Workforce, Professional and Community Education.

This month’s featured nonprofit is the Pando Initiative. The Pando Initiative has been successfully connecting with more than 200,000 students in area schools since 1990. Our core model focuses on individual students who are struggling with school and life. We position a dedicated staff member inside partner schools in Wichita, Derby and Haysville public schools.

Respecting the privacy of all members, YPW discourages the solicitation of goods; services; and educational, promotional, or employment opportunities at all YPW events, activities, and programs. In short, please bring your business cards, not your brochures, samples, or other promotional items.
