    SUBJECT: FLORIDA 21ST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERS
    FUNDING WORKSHOPS
     
     
    The Florida Department of Education, Bureau of Family and Community Outreach, is pleased
    to announce Florida 21st Century Community Learning Centers Funding Workshop. This
    workshop has been specifically designed for new agencies and organizations that wish to
    apply for 2009-2010 21st Century Community Learning Centers funds.
     
    The funding purpose of Florida’s Title IV, Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers
    program (21st CCLC) is to provide federal funds to establish or expand community learning
    centers that operate during out-of-school hours and that have three specific purposes:
     
    • To provide opportunities for academic enrichment and tutorial services,
     
    • To offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities to
    reinforce and complement the regular academic program, and
     
    • To offer families of 21st CCLC students opportunities for literacy and related
    educational development.
     
    The funding workshop will provide an overview of the 21st CCLC grant opportunity, including
    requirements and additional information helpful in preparing a 21st CCLC grant application.
