On Friday, November 4th, 2022, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) announced the availability of 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) grant funds to be awarded to community-based organizations partnering with school divisions to support afterschool, before-school, and summer learning programs to provide additional instructional opportunities to combat learning loss for school-age children attending high-poverty, low-performing schools.

This grant is awarded to eligible nonprofit agencies, city or county government agencies, faith-based organizations, and institutions of higher education to support the implementation of beyond-school-hours community learning centers that will assist student learning and development.
