The League of California Afterschool Providers (LCAP) convenes and coordinates the State’s fifty largest After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program and 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Program grantees for the purpose of informing policies and administrative decisions that affect the after school field.

 

These 50 grantees manage nearly 60% of the State’s after school program sites and are dispersed among all eleven of the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association regions.  A group of this size is large enough to represent a broad constituency while remaining small enough to be effectively mobilized.

 

This unified coalition constitutes the single most influential voice the California after school field has generated to date. The League of California Afterschool Providers is the only organization that can truly claim to have built a majority consensus among ASES and 21st CCLC grantees and the combined weight of this constituency makes LCAP uniquely qualified to speak on behalf of this stakeholder group.

 

Those who are engaged in the daily management and operation of after school programs are the first to recognize the logistical implications of proposed policies and procedures. They are also the ones most qualified to determine when adopted policies have become counter-productive.

 

Likewise, they have the greatest potential for offering workable solutions to problems and innovative strategies for addressing service gaps. They represent the primary stakeholder group in the implementation of after school services, and as such should act as the primary consultants to policy makers on that issue.
