Programs

21st Century Community Learning Centers

The Boys & Girls Club of Camden County is proud to serve over 80 children with funding from the The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC). This initiative is the only federal funding source dedicated exclusively to supporting local afterschool, before-school and summer learning programs. The program serves more than 1.5 million youth and their families, through grants awarded by state education agencies. Each state receives funds based on its share of Title I funding for low-income students. Grants support local schools and community based organizations that provide afterschool and summer learning programs to students attending high-poverty, low-performing schools.
