21st Century Comunity Learning Centers
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit applications from current, successful 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC) providers, and eligible public and private schools and organizations interested in offering after-school services through 21st CCLC. Providers will be selected on a competitive basis.
The 21st CCLC program provides funding to create community learning centers. Community learning centers:
Assist students in meeting state and local academic achievement standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics by providing opportunities for academic enrichment activities and a broad array of other activities (such as drug and violence prevention, counseling, art, music, recreation, technology, and character education programs) during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session (such as before and after school or during summer recess).
Offer families of participating students opportunities for literacy and related educational development.
