After-school Programs &
21st Century Community Learning Centers
After-school programs provide children and teens with safe places to try new activities, develop new skills, have fun, and learn.
RIDE oversees the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLCs) program. These are federally funded, high quality after-school and summer programs. They provide students with academic support, enrichment and school engagement. They complement students' regular academic program.
NEW! - 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Waiver Request
RIDE has received a waiver from the United States Department of Education (USED), waiving the requirement that restricts activities provided by a program funded under the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers program (21st CCLC) to activities provided only during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session (such as before and after school or during summer recess), during the 2020-2021 school year.
