In addition, we offer specialized Peer Learning Communities (PLCs) that take afterschool professionals’ learning to the next level using a small-cohort model. PLCs are focused on specific topics, such as STEM, youth entrepreneurship, resiliency, etc. PLCs typically include facilitation of a virtual training series, sharing of relevant resources, presentations by guest speakers from related industries, and networking among programs to share best practices and programming ideas.
