After School 21st Century Program

NOW ENROLLING for 21st Century Learning!

The 21st Century Community Learning Center Program is recruiting children in the second through twelfth grade for the new school year. Some schools serve students in first grade. Please ask the site coordinator at your child's schools for additional details. As the school district transitions to other learning venues, the 21st Century Program will adapt and mirror the School District's learning modes. We will operate the program in person and serve your child a meal and snack daily Mondays through Thursdays. In addition to our academic programming, 21st Century Community Learning Centers also offers field trip experiences and service learning projects for youth to engage in. We invite all of our parents to participate in our family engagement options available throughout the year.
