CalSAC Recognizes LDI Fellows

The California School-Age Consortium is proud to highlight the Fellows from our Leadership Development Institute (LDI). These Fellows are leaders of color who demonstrate unrivaled commitment to the field and strive for advanced leadership in afterschool, school-age child care, summer enrichment or preschool. All Fellows undergo a rigorous selection process and participate in an intensive year long cohort-based program.

This month we are honored to highlight LDI Fellow Jerri Keyes in the CalSAC News.

Please join us in congratulating them for the accomplishments they have already made at the local level, for being selected as one of only 13 LDI Fellows statewide, and for their commitment to advancing their communities and our field through continuous professional development and capacity building.
