Family Action Network
The Family Action Network (FAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Evanston that curates a high-quality, thought-provoking speaker series centered on human development, education, mental health, equity, and more. FAN’s mission is to present fresh ideas that elevate minds, expand hearts, and make the world a better place. With a vision of cultivating an informed and compassionate community, FAN offers all programs free and open to the public.
Evanston Township High School (ETHS) frequently hosts FAN events to promote learning and engagement among students, families, and the broader community. Northwestern University proudly supports FAN through annual financial contributions and faculty participation as speakers and moderators in events. The Partnership Office helps cross-promote FAN events so that Northwestern and ETHS students can engage with these amazing free learning opportunities. Additionally, we look for opportunities for co-sponsorship and synergy with events.
