Benefits to Apprentices, Benefits to Apprentices, Benefits to Apprentices, Benefits to Apprentices, our Youth, and our Community our Youth, and our Community our Youth, and our Community our Youth, and our Community The Expanded Learning Apprenticeship provides countless benefits to apprentices, our youth, and our community, including: Relieving apprentices of the burden of choosing between work and attending school Addressing a workforce shortage in critical afterschool programs that foster positive relationships, create supportive environments, and facilitate engaging and intentional activities for youth Staffing afterschool programs with individuals who reflect the youth they serve and share their experiences Investing in the professional development of individuals from less resourced communities who then invest their work experience back into those communities A network of support from fellow apprentices, employers, and educators that includes support for housing, childcare, food insecurity and more. The Expanded Learning Program Leader Apprenticeship was created in response to the California Department of Education’s effort to establish a paid training model that supports professional growth and financial stability for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. These programs are a critical support system for youth from under-resourced communities and their families, who have been disproportionately impacted by the effects of the pandemic, in addition to long-standing systemic inequities. *The California Department of Education (CDE) defines Expanded Learning as follows: “Before and afterschool, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student-centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year."
