The South Dakota School-Age Care Alliance (SoDakSACA) is an organization of people interested in providing and promoting quality out-of-school programs in South Dakota. With more and more parents working, the need for safe and enriching programs before and after school, during school holidays, and in summer is becoming greater each year. With that comes a need for high quality, appropriate training for those involved in providing these programs.

The 2023 SoDakSACA Conference will be held October 12 -14, with a great pre-conference session on the afternoon of October 12th. This will all take place at The Lodge at Deadwood, Deadwood, South Dakota. It is the intent of the board of directors of this organization to provide a wide spectrum of conference sessions addressing the needs of those staff in administrative positions, as well as line staff roles of both elementary and middle school programs. (Share the magic that works for you it might be someone else’s saving grace!!) We are also looking for some great summer sessions to help with summer camp planning. This year’s conference goal is to provide as many hands-on sessions that line staff can take back to their programs and use. We would also like to incorporate a director’s track that can be a time for directors and owners to share stories about their successes and an opportunity for questions and answers.

SoDakSACA invites you to present at the annual conference in October at The Lodge at Deadwood, Deadwood, South Dakota. Sessions will be 1 or 1.5 hours in length. Proposals must be postmarked by July 24, 2023 to be considered for presentation. Evaluation of proposals will be based on current best practice standards such as those supported by the National After School Association (NAA). If you have any questions regarding this conference or the request for proposal form, contact Billie Jo Bakeberg at (605) 641-1222.
