The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during the non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high poverty and low-performing schools.  The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a brad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of the participating children.
