What New Jersey’s Afterschool and Out-of-School Time Professional Network does

New Jersey's Afterschool and Out-of-School Time Professional Network (NJSACC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1993 and headquartered in Westfield, NJ. It is the designated statewide afterschool network for New Jersey and the official state affiliate of the National Afterschool Association, serving as a professional intermediary for the OST field. The organization supports afterschool and out-of-school time programs through professional development workshops, an annual statewide conference (300+ attendees in 2024), technical assistance and quality coaching, monthly community discussions, advocacy, and the NJ Quality Standards for Afterschool framework. It is the contracted technical assistance provider under the federal Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grant, with a reach covering 67 grantees at 152 sites across 39 communities in 18 New Jersey counties, serving roughly 32,475 children.

NJSACC's product portfolio consists of services rather than technology products: Professional Development, Technical Assistance/Quality Coaching, the Annual Conference, NJSACC Afterschool Conversations, Web Learning modules, the FLASH newsletter, and a Public Policy and Advocacy program. Its underlying technology is standard nonprofit infrastructure — primarily Salesforce for operations, CRM, and grantee coordination, and the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS) for supporting grantees and programs. The organization does not develop proprietary technology. Its 8-person staff includes CEO Ebony D. Grace (since 2014), COO Adam Cruz, and functional directors responsible for quality coaching, expanded learning, administrative services, communications, and technical assistance.

NJSACC's revenue model is grant-funded rather than commercial. Primary funding streams include the federal 21st CCLC Technical Assistance Grant (flowing through NJ DOE under Title IV, Part B of ESSA), the New Jersey Department of Human Services Division of Family Development (via the federal CCDF Block Grant earmark), and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation as part of the National Network of Statewide Afterschool Networks. Secondary revenue includes conference registration fees ($65 per attendee for the Soaring Beyond Expectations event), NAA membership dues (sliding scale $25-$150; free to NJ OST professionals via state affiliation), and training workshop fees. Its $33 million in annual 21st CCLC funding reaches NJ grantees, but NJSACC captures only the TA intermediary portion of that flow. Customer segments include OST program operators, 21st CCLC grantees, individual OST professionals, and — indirectly — the working families seeking afterschool access for their children.
