Description
This program supports the establishment and expansion of 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) in New Hampshire. Administered by the New Hampshire Department of Education, the grant funds high-quality, out-of-school-time programming for students—particularly those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. Funded centers provide academic enrichment, tutoring, mentoring, STEM and arts activities, homework help, career and workforce readiness, and family engagement services. The goal is to reinforce and complement regular academic programs, address community needs, and foster partnerships among schools, local organizations, and families. Programs are expected to use evidence-based practices, conduct data-driven evaluation, and plan for sustainability beyond the grant period.
