No matter your leadership or expertise level, you have something to offer. Your voice and perspective are more than enough to begin leading today!

What is the CAN Leadership Team?

The Leadership Team is the California Afterschool Network’s primary leadership body. It consists of field interest holders who guide all aspects of CAN’s work, including its strategy, procurement and use of resources, Action Team operations, and Executive Director support. The team includes at least 16 but at most 23 Leaders, including two ex-officio leaders. Leaders serve for up to two three-year terms and advise all aspects of CAN’s work but do not hold the duty of trustee. Learn more about the CAN Leadership Team.
