WEBCAST
PRESENTATION The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Program is an opportunity for students and their families to continue to learn new skills and discover new abilities after the school day has ended. Congress has appropriated $981 million for afterschool programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2006. The focus of this program, re-authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act, is to provide expanded academic enrichment opportunities for children attending low performing schools. Tutorial services and academic enrichment activities are designed to help students meet local and state academic standards in subjects such as reading and math. In addition, 21st CCLC programs provide youth development activities, drug and violence prevention programs, technology education programs, art, music and recreation programs, counseling and character education to enhance the academic component of the program. Faith-based and community organizations (FBCO), local educational agencies, other public or private entities, or a consortium of two or more of such agencies, organizations, or entities are eligible to apply. States must give priority to applications that are jointly submitted by a local educational agency and an FBCO or other public or private entity. The 21st CCLC program is a state administered program. For information about application deadlines, please contact your state department of education.
