The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program is a federally funded initiative that supports the creation of academic and enrichment programs during non-school hours for students—especially those attending high-poverty, low-performing schools.

Under Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (as amended by ESSA in 2015), 21st CCLC programs aim to help students meet academic standards and provide families with literacy and educational support.
