21st Century Community Learning Centers: Accelerating Learning. Supporting Families. Earning Results
Afterschool Alliance
Afterschool programs inspire kids to learn, help them build foundational skills like the ability to communicate effectively and think critically, and give parents peace of mind knowing that their child is in a safe space with caring adults. For more than 25 years, 21st Century Community Learning Centers have helped young people academically and socially and met the needs of families nationwide. But the demand for these programs far exceeds the supply. Nearly 25 million children are not in an afterschool program, but would be if a program were available to them. 21st Century Community Learning Centers provide afterschool and summer learning opportunities in every state. This report discusses the impact and results of 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
