21ST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERS
21st CCLC programs support the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. These programs help students meet state and local standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and provide literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
OUR WWPS 21ST CCLC GOALS
Students who participate regularly in program services gain essential and fundamental skills in core content academic areas, improve grades and test scores in these subject areas, demonstrate increased confidence, self-esteem, and resiliency as related to the regular school-day, and improve the overall well-being of their families, both academically and physically.
