Leading and Learning is requesting approval for the Intent to Apply for the 21^st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) four-year grant award. The deadline for submission of the finished grant is April 15, 2022.

The 21^st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) funding supports the creation of community learning centers that provide high-yield academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state standards in core academic subjects such as English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics; offers students a broad array of high-yield enrichment activities that can compliment their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

This project also provides supplemental financial assistance for Brevard Public Schools to establish a successful partnership with community partners to provide quality after-school activities for students and support for parents of children who attend a TS&I school and who are in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Using funds from this project, the identified elementary schools will become 21^st Century Community Learning Centers. The Brevard Before/After School Academy will establish programs designed to use school sites during after-school hours to deliver hands-on learning experiences for 50 to 100 students at each selected site.
