At this funding level, which is consistent with fiscal year 2016, local school and community based providers of afterschool and summer learning programs will be able to sustain quality programming for 1.6 million children in high-need communities. In every state and almost every Congressional district, 21st Century Community Learning Center funding supports afterschool and summer learning programs that offer locally based school and community solutions that keep children and teenagers safe, inspire young people to learn and support working families. These federal formula grants to states enable communities to leverage local resources by providing seed grants for 3-5 years that support community partnerships among community-based organizations, faith based partners, private industry, and school partners (public, private, and charters).
