I think that expanded learning workforce, it is such a great feeder for like the education workforce. A lot of people use this as the launching point, especially when we start looking at investing in our youth. A lot of kids don't even know what it means to be a teacher.

They might be kids that struggle in school like I did, behavior, academics, and then you put them in this role of leadership and accountability and they go,

And we see that too with like our young folks who graduate from high school and then maybe don't know what they want to do. And they think this is just a filler position. It's daycare, it's whatever. I'll go in, I'll get my hours and I'll clock out. And they find a love for education and they become counselors and teachers and then they go into the principals and superintendents and it all starts with expanded learning.

"Wait a minute, I can make a difference. I'm going to add to the community."
