CLC Program

Community Learning Centers (CLCs) serve as safe, structured environments within neighborhood schools, offering academic enrichment, tutoring, mentoring, and programs in science, technology, arts, sports, and community connections. These opportunities not only extend learning beyond the classroom  but also help students improve their academic performance, attitudes towards school, and overall chances of graduating. Exploring fun,  hands-on learning opportunities builds confidence, skills and relationships, helping kids discover passions and setting them up for success in the future.
