The California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance (CA3)
is the statewide voice for expanded learning programs.

Our coalition represents the interests of the children, youth, and their families who rely on
publicly funded expanded learning (afterschool and summer) programs throughout California,
as well as the vibrant and dynamic workforce that makes these programs so special.
