The Collaborative After School Project (CASP) at the College of Education and Integrative Studies (CEIS), California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (CPP), has been providing training and technical assistance in the school-age care and after school field in California for the past decade. (CASP previously operated out of the University of California, Irvine and moved to Cal Poly Pomona in 2003). The Project is dedicated to fostering developmentally-oriented learning experiences for children and youth during the after school hours. CASP works collaboratively with public and private organizations throughout Los Angeles County and the state of California to support the success and long-term sustainability of current programs, and help establish new programs. To this end, CASP developed a series of curriculum and program resources for the Child Development Division of the California Department of Education that are currently in the process of publication at CDE. Over the past six years, through a contract with Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), CASP has formed part of the Region XI Los Angeles County After School Support Team. Working in partnership with LACOE, CASP- CPP provides a variety of staff development opportunities for the field in collaboration with other after school leadership in the region.
