10 Reasons for High School After-School
Because of recent changes to the After School Education
and Safety Program, there is significant new funding available
for high schools to provide after-school programs for their
students. Under the new law, a portion of California’s
funds from the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers
funding stream will now be reserved for high school after-school
programs, under the California 21st Century High School
After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) Program.

10 Reasons for CBOs to Provide After-School
Programs
Community-based organizations
(CBOs) have a long history of providing California’s
youth with safe places to go when school is out. Now, with
the recent increase in public funding for after-school programs
in California, CBOs have a tremendous opportunity to expand
that commitment. Thanks to the triggering of Prop. 49, the
state’s After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program
now has $550 million to offer. California also receives
more than $100 million in federal 21st Century Community
Learning Centers (21st CCLC) funding each year. Both funding
streams place an emphasis on community partnerships, creating
an avenue for CBOs and schools to work together to provide
youth with a safe, enriching place to go after school.
