Are you passionate about shaping the future of expanded learning in California and beyond? The Ecosystem Advisory Team is a key workgroup supporting the co-creation of the Ecosystem Plan, California’s third iteration of the Expanded Learning Strategic Plan.

We are inviting 120-130 deeply rooted community leaders and credible messengers to join us. Members will participate in three large-group convenings, build meaningful cross-sector relationships and offer high-level input that strengthens the vision and strategies of the Ecosystem Plan. This plan seeks to position Expanded Learning as a cornerstone of California’s education. Health, and human services ecosystem.

We’re looking for members from across the youth-serving field including:

  • Licensed Family Child Care
  • Technical Assistance Providers
  • Education (K–12, Higher Ed, Special Education, Tribal Schools)
  • Youth Development (leadership, civic engagement, workforce readiness, intergenerational learning)
  • Behavioral & Mental Health (counseling, trauma-informed care, culturally rooted healing)
  • Sports & Recreation (youth leagues, traditional games, movement practices)
  • Human Services (child welfare, foster care, Indigenous family wellness)
  • Medical & Healthcare (pediatrics, school-based health, traditional medicine)
  • Housing Services (youth shelters, transitional housing, tribal housing programs)
  • Juvenile Justice & Legal Advocacy (restorative justice, youth rights, tribal justice systems)
  • Arts & Creative Development (storytelling, cultural preservation, youth arts)
  • Child Hunger Services (food banks, school pantries, community kitchens)

If you are called to co-create liberated learning environments that center whole child, family, and community health and wellness—and you want to work alongside heart-minded people committed to complex systems change—this is your invitation.
