The California Afterschool and Summer Challenge aims to educate and empower professionals, youth, and families to engage in grassroots advocacy statewide and locally to advance the out-of-school time field. The event is hosted by the California School Age Consortium, who have partnered this year with the California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance (CA3) in a campaign to increase After School Education and Safety (ASES) funding. This will be an important year for you to make your voice heard in the state capitol. Save the date and plan on attending the California Afterschool and Summer Challenge May 9-10, 2016 (registration coming soon).
