2025 50 State Afterschool Network Leaders Meeting

CAN's exploration of how we express “Adult Nurturance” as our foundation for workforce exploration. We believe that by centering the needs, gifts, and talents of our workforce, we can leverage that into different conversations about recruitment (Into) and Retention (Through) in Expanded Learning/OOST spaces and Elevation (Beyond) into other fields where a Youth Development foundation would prove beneficial. We wlll share how our work in everything from registered apprenticeships to the SOC code work all connect to creating better learning and leading opportunities for our field which can result in more rewarding experiences for our young people and communities.
