The purpose of the 21st Century
Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, as authorized under
Title IV, Part B, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act,
§§4201 et seq., (20 U.S. Code §§7171 et seq., attached to

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. In support of this program,
Congress appropriated nearly $1.1 billion for 21st CCLC programs

community- and faith-based organizations, local businesses,
postsecondary institutions, scientific/cultural and other community
entities, 4,077 subgrantees-operating 9,989 centers-provided
academic and enrichment services and activities to over 1.7 million
children.
