Overview

2026 Site Coordinator Symposium
February 4, 27-28, 2026

Building Community. Igniting Passion. Transforming Futures.

The 9th Annual 2026 Site Coordinator Symposium took place virtually on February 4 and in person on February 26 – 28 in Long Beach, CA, bringing together Expanded Learning Site Coordinators, practitioners, and other educational leaders from across California for a powerful time of learning, connection, and inspiration.

Presented by the California AfterSchool Network, in partnership with the Site Coordinator Network, and supported by the California Department of Education Expanded Learning Division, the Symposium continued its tradition of centering the growth, development, and success of Site Coordinators and those who support Expanded Learning programs.

Throughout the event, participants engaged in capacity-building workshops, meaningful networking, and community-building experiences designed to strengthen program quality and highlight how leadership can build systems and supports that help Site Coordinators flourish.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s SOLD OUT Symposium a success! We look forward to continuing the momentum and connecting again in future gatherings!
