The California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance (CA3) is a statewide coalition that serves as the voice for expanded learning programs in California. Representing the interests of children, youth, and their families who rely on publicly funded afterschool and summer programs, as well as the dedicated workforce behind these programs, CA3 advocates for enhanced funding and support for older students. Through their advocacy efforts, CA3 aims to ensure that funds are reaching the students who need them the most and to highlight the positive impact of expanded learning opportunities for middle and high school students.
CA3's mission is to raise awareness about the importance of quality afterschool and summer programs, and to promote the collection of data on student enrollment in these programs. By linking arms with providers, intermediaries, parents, and school districts, CA3 has achieved significant victories in the expanded learning field. Although AB 1113, a bill that would have provided more enriching programs for older students, is currently inactive, CA3 remains committed to collaborating with Assemblymember McCarty and Governor Newsom to secure enhanced funding and data collection in the next legislative session.
