3LN Workforce Development Network Kickoff

The Linking, Learning, Leading (3LN) Workforce Development Network launched its first cohort on July 26 in San Francisco. This 3LN cohort includes 18 practitioners from school districts and  community-based organizations who will collaborate over the next 9 months to identify and share best practices to address workforce challenges, learn from and connect with experts, and apply new strategies within their organizations that can help the broader expanded learning field.

Joined by representatives from the National Afterschool Association (NAA), CalSAC, ExpandLA, GPSN, and New Door Ventures, network members spent the day building community, exploring the newly released NAA Job Quality Standards, and brainstorming strategies and solutions that they will test throughout 3LN.
