California is building something bold — and your voice is essential to making it real. As part of the design process for California’s Expanded Learning Ecosystem Plan, we’re collecting Sound Waves: community insights that ripple through the Strategic Design planning process and help shape a bold, healing-centered strategy for youth well-being across the state.

Participate in this month’s Sound Wave on the emerging strategic priority: Healing-centered, culturally rooted” high-quality programs.

• Your ideas, questions, and concerns aren’t just welcome — they’re needed. This is your opportunity to directly influence the Strategic Plan for California’s Expanded Learning Ecosystem.
• Each month, the Sound Wave will focus on a specific emerging Strategic Priority area. Stay tuned for next month!
