Once the academy is open, Sproutstart will work with your appointed church liaison–a member of your congregation committed to maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship between the church and the academy. The church liaison will serve as the point person on how to best connect the church's needs with Sproutstart Academy, including through a monthly meeting.
