About Our 21st Century Program

Our 21st Century Community Learning Centers program is a free, 33-week after-school initiative designed to support students attending schools that are either underperforming or located in high-poverty areas. Currently, we serve 244 students across three sites in Thomas and Mitchell Counties.

This enriching program offers academic support, homework assistance, and engaging enrichment activities that promote self-confidence, personal growth, and health and wellness. Students also explore the arts as both a form of creative expression and structured self-discipline, all within a positive and nurturing environment.
