Inspire Youth. Inspire Learning. Inspire Change.

The annual BOOST Conference is the largest, most recognized, and comprehensive global convening for after school, Expanded Learning, and in and out-of-school time professionals. CAN proudly supports the BOOST Conference as a Workshop Strand sponsor; we participate with an Exhibitor Booth, and host a Cabana! We are excited to ‘CAN’nect and engage with BOOSTers in sunny Palm Springs, CA! 

Workshop Strand Details

CULTIVATE WITH CAN: CREATING COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES WHERE EVERY CHILD AND YOUNG PERSON IS WELL-KNOWN, CARED FOR, AND PREPARED TO THRIVE

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.
