The purpose of 21st CCLC grants is to fund quality afterschool programs that provide opportunities for academic enrichment and tutorial services to help students meet state academic standards. Other programs, activities and services that can be offered include youth development activities, service learning, nutrition and health education, drug and violence prevention, counseling, arts, music, physical fitness and wellness, technology education, financial literacy, environmental literacy, mathematics, science, career and technical programs and internship or apprenticeship programs. All activities should reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students. Programs are also required to offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their child's education, including opportunities for literacy and related education development.
