The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) supports 83 school-based programs in elementary, middle, and high schools throughout Oakland. The After School Programs Office, part of the Complementary Learning Department of OUSD, administers more than $13 million in state and federal after school funding per year.

The primary activities of the Oakland After School Programs Office are to assure that the fiscal and contracting requirements of funders and the District are met, to provide professional development opportunities for staff, and to work with individual sites to promote quality.

The Oakland Fund for Children and Youth (OFCY) was established in November 1996, when over three fourths of the voters expressed a powerful commitment to their children and youth by passing the Kids First! (Measure K) initiative - an amendment to the City Charter that sets aside 2.5 percent of the City's unrestricted General Purpose Fund to fund direct services to children and youth, less than 21 years of age.

The Oakland Fund for Children and Youth is administered by the City of Oakland. This groundbreaking legislation also requires that young people play a meaningful role in the oversight and implementation of the Fund. To go to the official OFCY website, click here.

These pages are the work of the OFCY Youth Evaluation Team Interns (YETI). YETI are a group of students from MetWest High School who are conducing a qualitative assessment of Oakland After School Programs that receive funding from OFCY. From 2009-2010 they are evaluating programs through site visits where they photograph, videotape and interview After School Program providers and participants. The YETI are also responsible for the interactive map on this blog.

The YETI team is mentored by professionals from Public Profit and Community Bridge Video.
