COMMUNITY

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) initiative is a key component of the Every
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESSA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, the specific purposes of the federal law
are to:

• Provide opportunities during non-school hours for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial
services to help students, particularly students who attend low-performing schools, to meet the
challenging State academic standards.
• Offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities during non-school
hours such as youth development activities, service learning, nutrition and health education, drug
and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, arts, music, physical fitness and wellness
programs, technology education programs, financial literacy programs, environmental literacy
programs, mathematics, science, career and technical programs, internship or apprenticeship
programs, and other ties to an in-demand industry sector or occupation for high school students that
are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students.
• Offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for active and
meaningful engagement in their children’s education, including opportunities for literacy and related
educational development.
