The Monterey County Office of Education serves as the Regional Lead Office for After School Partnerships and serves as a liaison between the California Department of Education (CDE) and local after school programs.
The Regional Lead's purpose is to provide training and technical support to school districts, their partners, and other community stakeholders who currently receive, or are interested in receiving and sustaining, after school grants. The Regional Lead is your first point of contact in accessing services to make your after school program successful. Region 5 serves Monterey, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties.

The Core Competencies are specific skill/knowledge sets required of individuals to carry out the responsibilities of various roles in before/after school programs (i.e. Grant Manager, Program Director, Site Coordinator, and Frontline Staff). The Core Competencies are research-based, and were developed by Before/After School Program Regional Leads from Regions 3, 5, 10 and 11, with input from program practitioners, the CA Department of Education, and other leaders in the field.
