The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded a $32,575,215 Formula Grant under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program to the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE). The grant period runs from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The 21st CCLC program provides academic enrichment and developmental services for students, particularly those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. The grant funding will support the establishment and expansion of community learning centers that offer a wide range of educational opportunities outside of regular school hours, including tutoring, mentoring, homework assistance, academic enrichment, community service, and extracurricular activities in areas such as music, arts, sports, and culture. The primary goal is to help students meet state and local academic standards while providing broader learning experiences that complement their regular academic programs. As the state educational agency, NJDOE will distribute sub-awards to local school districts, non-profit organizations, and community groups across New Jersey to implement the community learning center programs.
