Join us for a series of workshops on leveraging Expanded Learning (EXL) and Out-of-School (OST) programs to create the future our children, youth, and families deserve, with just and affirming spaces and opportunities that enrich, empower, educate, and elevate them. Our strand explores this topic from different viewpoints - Site Coordinators, Program/District Managers, and Systems Level Leaders. Each session will identify opportunities for continued engagement with CAN beyond the conference.

Quality Takes A Village - Partnerships, Tips, Tools, and Resources
Tiffany Gipson, Director, Equity & Quality; Nat Rosales, Specialist, Policy & Outreach, California AfterSchool Network, Sacramento, CA

Quality programs don’t happen by accident. It takes a grassroots to grass-tops collaborative effort from how programs are implemented on the site to the structures and infrastructure necessary to create the conditions for high-quality programming. Come and join the CAN team as we explore how to use different CAN resources to create comprehensive, high-quality, asset-based, and student-centered out-of-school-time programs.
