It’s not too late to register for Bridging the Bay! The fourth annual conference will be held this year on February 1^st and 2^nd at Bret Harte Middle School in Oakland, California (parking is available, and it is accessible by public transit).  The Bridging the Bay conference is held annually for afterschool line staff, program coordinators and managers. This is a unique opportunity to share best practices with our partners across the Bay, and expand on AFA commitment to professional development.  This year’s conference has an exciting line-up of presenters, workshops and performers.  Michael Funk, director of the Afterschool Division at the Ca Department of Education, will keynote the conference and talk about the future of afterschool in California.  There will be workshops on afterschool and school day alignment, STEM, STEAM, the core competencies, behavior management and much more. This year will also include a new older youth track, for middle and high school programs. Conference attendees can expect to leave with new ideas, connections and tools they can start using right away. Please share the conference information with your coworkers and colleagues.
