FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCES
21st Century Community Learning Centers
This program provides money for before- and after-school initiatives and weekend and summer programs that seek to advance student achievement. It allows grants not only to school districts but also directly to community-based organizations and other public or private entities, including faith-based groups, in rural and inner-city schools in nearly every state. Centers will provide opportunities for children and youth to participate in a variety of activities, including nutritional and health services and technology programs. Funds may be used for planning, implementing, or expanding learning activities and for other areas of instruction, enrichment, and recreation, including telecommunications and technology education. This is a competitive grant program that shifted from the federal government to the states under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
