Introduction
Proposition 49 (passed in 2002) and SB 638 (signed in September 2006) provide new funding for after school programs and give priority to schools serving low-income students. Schools with 50 percent or more students eligible for the free or reduced-price meal program receive top priority in receiving new after school (ASES) program grants. However, all schools are eligible to apply.

The kit includes:

  • An overview of the new and improved state after school grant program and streamlined application process
  • Strategies for designing and planning an after school program that leads to successful outcomes
  • Ideas for partnering with community stakeholders and identifying sources for matching funds
  • Information to help describe a community’s need for an after school program
  • Additional resources for developing your program and completing the application

Deadlines

  • Existing 21st CCLC programs transitioning to ASES must apply by Friday, November 3, 2006
  • Applications for new ASES grants are due Monday, November 6, 2006
