The California School-Age Consortium's mission is to support and advance professionals and organizations in providing quality and accessible out-of-school time programs. We accomplish this mission through our focus on fostering professional connections, enhancing competency, and building a community of leaders. Our vision is that afterschool and school-age care programs will be a public priority throughout California. Through our leadership, out-of-school time professionals and programs will be valued — like teachers and schools — as an essential service supported by government, business and community resources.
