LCAP - League of California Afterschool Providers

The League of California Afterschool Providers (LCAP) convenes and coordinates the State’s 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 grantees manage over 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.

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. (read less)
