21ST century community learning centers program

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $11,693,071 Formula Grant to the Nevada Department of Education (NDOE) under the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CFDA 84.287) program. This program provides opportunities for communities to establish or expand after-school and summer enrichment activities in high-poverty and low-performing schools.

Through this grant, NDOE has issued several sub-awards to local school districts, non-profit organizations, and other entities across Nevada to operate community learning centers that offer academic enrichment, youth development, and family engagement programs during non-school hours. Sub-recipients include the City of Las Vegas, Elko County School District, Greater Youth Sports Association, Young Men's Christian Association of Southern Nevada, The Children's Cabinet, and various school districts. These sub-awardees utilize the federal funding to deliver a range of supplementary educational services, including tutoring, homework assistance, academic enrichment, and community engagement activities for students.
