Strategic Design Process: An Ecosystem Plan to Leverage California’s Expanded Learning Infrastructure
2025 and Beyond

Building on the foundation of the collaborative work to design and implement A Vision for Expanded Learning in California, Strategic Plans 1.0 and 2.0, California’s Expanded Learning Leadership has begun an expansive strategic design process to build an Ecosystem Plan to Leverage California’s Expanded Learning Infrastructure. The California AfterSchool Network is excited to partner with the California Department of Education Expanded Learning Division to co-host a Strategic Design Process that elevates Expanded Learning as an essential partner in California’s Education, Health and Human Services, and Workforce Development ecosystems.

More than just a strategic plan, this Ecosystem Plan is a collective care response—a coordinated effort to elevate Expanded Learning as a wellspring of community, healing and opportunity. In a time of uncertainty, we are building a future of abundance—one where young people are not just supported but uplifted by a community that deeply cares for the next generation.
