Region 6 - After School Programs

The Stanislaus County Office of Education Prevention Programs Department serves as the Regional Lead Office for after school programs in Region VI which serves Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Tuolumne, Amador, and Calaveras counties. Stanislaus County (population: 439,508) is located in the northern San Joaquin Valley of Central California. Stanislaus County is the heart of the agricultural belt. Amador (population: 36,500), Calaveras (population: 42,450) and Tuolumne (population: 56,500) are adjacent to Stanislaus County located in the central Sierra Nevada Mountains. San Joaquin County (population: 523,000) is located about 75 miles east of San Francisco.

The Regional Lead Office strives to provide training and technical assistance to school districts, community agencies, and other stakeholders who receive or are interested in receiving and sustaining after school funding for programs in region six. The Regional Lead is the first point of contact for accessing services and communication which ensure quality after school program delivery. Funds to support the efforts of the Regional Lead office are provided by the California Department of Education.

Our Goals include:

• Provide quality after school programs for all children throughout region six.
• Identify, develop and link resources for after school programs throughout the region.
• Continuously conduct an effective needs assessment which will identify priority needs in the region and appropriate strategies of meeting those needs.
• Provide multiple training opportunities for after school staff and stakeholders.
• Support the California After School Partnership by strengthening policy voice of the field.
• Increase community awareness which focuses on the importance of providing quality after school programs throughout the region.
