Purpose of 21st CCLC Programs
No Child Left Behind Act  (NCLB) transferred the responsibility for administering the 21st CCLC program from the United States Department of Education to state education agencies. To date, the New York State Education Department has awarded funding to 243 21st CCLC programs representing local education agencies and other eligible community based organizations.
The 21st CCLC provides programs outside of regular school hours primarily for children who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. These programs provide academic enrichment and youth development opportunities to students, as well as family literacy and other programs for their families. They can make a significant contribution to closing the achievement gap in our neediest schools.
Description of a Community Learning Center:
A community learning center offers academic, artistic and cultural enrichment opportunities to students and their families when school is not in session (before and after school, or during holiday or summer recess). According to Section 420(b)(1) of the program statute: a community learning center assists meeting state and local academic achievement standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics, by providing the students with opportunities for academic enrichment.
The Hudson Valley After-School Network (HVAN) is a regional affiliate of the New York State After-School Network (NYSAN) and meets regularly in both the southern and northern parts of the region.  These groups are comprised of a variety of participants such as after-school providers, administrators, community partners.  Meetings typically consist of sharing local and regional resources, networking, professional development, and more.  These meeting are open to anyone who would like to attend and collaborate towards achieving optimal after-school services for our youth!
