Afterschool programs provide a safe, caring and nurturing place for extended learning, social, recreational and personal life skills development for students during non-school hours (before- and/or after-school). An Afterschool program is not a continuation of the school day but extends, expands and enriches the opportunities for experiential learning, social development and recreation. It incorporates a strong partnership of school, family and community members that collaboratively contribute to the growth of students as they mature into caring, competent and responsible adults.
The Department receives the following two sources of funds for Afterschool programs which are then made available to the local level through a grant award process: School Age Community (SAC) and/or 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC). The purpose and requirements for these two grants vary. See the information below for a brief explanation of each and to view a list of current grant recipients.
