Indiana Department of Education Announces 21st CCLC Grantees
The Indiana Department of Education recently announced the newest 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grantees. Congratulations to the new cohort, whose 21st CCLC program funding will begin in 2022. Sarah Writes Grants client Mississinewa Community Schools received $250,000.
This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment and life skills opportunities during non-school hours for youth, particularly youth who attend poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps youth meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects; offers youth a broad array of enrichment activities that help their social, emotional, and behavioral development; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating youth.
