AB2324

Vocational education: youth caregivers.

Final Passage·7/2/26

California AB2324 establishes a career pathway for youth caregivers to support their academic and career development.

California AB2324, known as the Youth Caregiver Support and Career Pathway Act, aims to support youth caregivers by creating a dedicated career pathway. This act acknowledges the challenges faced by youth caregivers, including isolation, depression, and higher dropout rates. It mandates the Governor’s Council for Career Education to assess these challenges and recommend strategies to the California Workforce Pathways Joint Advisory Committee (CWPJAC). The CWPJAC will then develop a Youth Caregivers Career Pathway program, including curriculum and work-based learning strategies.
