What is a 21^st Century Community Learning Center?

The purpose of Georgia’s Title IV, Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is to provide federal funds to establish or expand community learning centers that operate during out-of-school hours and that have three specific purposes:

• To provide opportunities for academic enrichment and tutorial services
• To offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities to reinforce and complement the regular academic program; and
• To offer families of 21st CCLC students opportunities for literacy and related educational development.
