Region 1 Expanded Learning

MCOE proudly serves as the County Regional Lead for Region 1 in California’s System of Support for Expanded Learning (SSEL).

Our mission is to support After School Education and Safety (ASES) programs, 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), and Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELOP) across Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Lake, and Sonoma counties. Through technical assistance, we are dedicated to helping Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) in these communities deliver high-quality and inclusive expanded learning programs through a whole child approach.

Guided by a compassionate systems awareness, we approach our work with a deep understanding of the interconnected needs of students, families, and educators. Our focus is on creating sustainable, equitable learning environments that foster academic success, social-emotional growth, and holistic well-being. Through collaboration, professional development, and customized support, we empower programs to transform the lives of the students they serve.
