21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Program

21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Program

The Clark County School District is preparing to submit a competitive proposal to the Nevada Department of Education to expand the Title IV, Part B Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grant program. Planning for the specifics of program implementation is ongoing and student, parent/guardian, and community input is encouraged. The public may contact Brianna Mills, director, at (702) 799-3346 or send an email to millsb@nv.ccsd.net for additional information.

The grant application must be submitted by April 9, 2024. If awarded, this federally-funded grant will expand afterschool programming that provides students with evidence-based academic and enrichment opportunities. Activities linked to mathematics and literacy performance indicators are designed to reinforce students’ regular academic program. To ensure these programs are easily accessible to students and families, the learning centers will be located on school sites. Tutoring and mentoring, enrichment activities, and community service/family engagement opportunities will be offered at each site.

Additionally, nonprofits and other community organizations are also eligible to apply individually for funding on the Nevada Department of Education website.
