The 21st CCLC program provides comprehensive out-of-school time academic enrichment and developmental services to school-aged children, particularly those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. Through the Nevada Department of Education as the prime recipient and pass-through entity, funding supports the establishment and expansion of community learning centers that deliver tutoring, homework assistance, mentoring, and extracurricular activities in arts, music, sports, and cultural areas. The prime recipient distributed funds to 24 sub-awardees including local school districts (Clark County, Washoe County, Lyon County, Elko County, Pinecrest Academy, Mater Academy, Slam Academy, and Nye County School District), non-profit organizations (YMCA of Southern Nevada, Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, Core Powered by the Rogers Foundation, Greater Youth Sports Association, After-School All-Stars Las Vegas, and The Children's Cabinet), the University of Nevada, Reno, and the City of Las Vegas. These sub-awardees implemented programming across multiple cohorts to expand academic enrichment opportunities and support student achievement outside regular school hours for Nevada's vulnerable youth populations.
