Across California, young people in their formative years are preparing for the future by experiencing it as they learn. They’re solving real problems, exploring careers they never knew existed, and graduating with the skills, confidence, and credentials to succeed.
For 20 years, Linked Learning has been making this difference—building pathways that connect education to opportunity, today and tomorrow. We’ve proven that when communities work together with shared purpose, we can transform what’s possible for young people. And that excellence and equity are essential priorities on the path to prosperity.
As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead. To reaching more students. To deepening partnerships. To ensuring that every adolescent in California has access to the transformative power of career-connected, college-bound learning. The future is happening right now, in the work we do together.
Join us at the Linked Learning Conference 2026 to help drive it forward.
