21st Century Community Learning Centers

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program is a federal initiative in the United States aimed at providing academic support and enrichment activities to students, particularly those in low-income areas. These centers offer after-school and summer programs that focus on improving educational outcomes through tutoring, homework help, and various recreational and cultural activities. The goal is to create safe learning environments that extend educational opportunities beyond the regular school day, fostering personal growth and academic achievement while engaging families and the community in the process.
