We have a unique opportunity in California:

• California has the largest system of Expanded Learning programs (after school, before school, and summer learning) in the nation with over 4,500 sites serving over 900,000 children and youth annually. 
• Expanded Learning quality is aligned with the latest research on the Science of Learning and Development.
• Quality Expanded Learning programs are consistent with the conditions necessary for positive healthy development, and positive outcomes for youth well into adulthood. 
• With strong links to medical health, mental health, substance use prevention, intervention, and treatment systems, California’s Expanded Learning programs can build upon their foundation of positive youth development and become vehicles for whole child health and wellness! 

Attached to the bottom of the email you will find a brief and more detailed overview of our efforts to create a multi-sector-informed statewide strategic plan to advance whole child health and wellness leveraging California’s investment in Expanded Learning.
