Promoting public policies that put children first.
LA’s BEST advocates at the local, state and federal level to ensure that elected officials prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable children and families, especially when it comes to out-of-school time.
We are proud to be a member of the California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance (CA3) Steering Committee, a coalition of organizations dedicated to promoting legislative and administrative policies that enhance the quality and accessibility of afterschool programs in California.

Together with our partners – the CA3, the Office of Mayor Karen Bass, the Los Angeles City Council, the LAUSD Board of Education, and others – we are working to create a city, state, and nation that truly values and promotes policies that benefit children and families, and gives them the opportunities they deserve to succeed in life and create a brighter future.
Our advocacy successes would not be possible without the support of our community, and we need your voice as we continue this work! If you’d like to get involved, you can join us on social media – X and LinkedIn – to get the latest advocacy news from LA’s BEST.
On March 12th, we joined afterschool supporters from across California to raise our voices and share why afterschool and summer learning programs matter. We were honored to meet with legislative offices and advocate for policies and funding that benefit the communities we serve. Thank you to our LA’s BEST staff, alumni, and board members who participated, and to CalSAC and all the partners who made this event possible! Click here to see our highlight from The Challenge.
