Atthis funding level, which is consistent with fiscal year 2016, local school and community based providers ofafterschool and summer learning programs will be able to sustain quality programming for 1.6 million childrenin high-need communities.In every state and almost every Congressional district, 21st Century Community Learning Center fundingsupports afterschool and summer learning programs that offer locally based school and community solutionsthat keep children and teenagers safe, inspire young people to learn and support working families. These federalformula grants to states enable communities to leverage local resources by providing seed grants for 3-5 yearsthat support community partnerships among community-based organizations, faith based partners, privateindustry, and school partners (public, private, and charters). Between 2006 and 2010, these grants leveragedmore than 1 billion in partner contributions.21st CCLC programs reflect the needs of local communities. Students gain access to activities and servicesdesigned to reinforce and complement the regular academic program, such as: hands on learning, physicalactivity, cooking classes, workforce development opportunities including gaining knowledge and skills inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) that underpin most modern jobs, drug and violenceprevention programs, counseling programs, the arts, and more. Additionally, families of children served haveaccess to their own programs in literacy and related educational development. These programs provide aninfrastructure to bring in other resources to students including access to mentors, tutors, snacks and meals, andin some places medical, dental and mental health programs.Afterschool programs show returns on investment with reports from Minnesota, Vermont, Maryland andOklahoma and nationally showing that each dollar invested in afterschool programs saves up to 9 by increasingyoung people’s learning potential, improving student performance in school, and reducing juvenile crime.Quality afterschool programming prepares students for college and the workforce, as demonstrated throughevaluation reports from 21st Century Community Learning Center programs across states:

ooTexas: Students participating in Texas’ 21st CCLC afterschool programs, referred to as theAfterschool Centers on Education (ACE), were more likely to be promoted to the next grade.The longer students were in the program, the greater the impact reducing disciplinary incidentsand school-day absences.California: A statewide longitudinal evaluation of the After School Safety and Enrichment forTeens (ASSETs) program—California’s high school component of the 21st CCLC program—found that students participating in the ASSETs program performed better on the ELA and mathsections of state tests than non-participants.Students who regularly participate in 21st Century Community Learning Centers improve their schoolattendance, class participation and behavior, homework completion, and reading and math achievement scoresand grades. The demand for afterschool programs continues to grow in communities of all types, including rural,urban and suburban communities. Nationally, for every one student in a program, two more are waiting to get in.Students spend 80% of their waking hours outside of school. Good policy means investing in programs thatkeep our students engaged after the traditional school days ends, when 11.3 million children are unsupervisedand juvenile crime and risky behaviors peak. Afterschool programs provide safe, engaging, time tested andresearch based solutions that work for students, families, communities, and the nation.Thank you for supporting sustained funding for 21st CCLC.National Organizations9to5, National Association of Working WomenA World Fit For Kids!AASA, The School Superintendents AssociationAESA - Association of Education Service AgenciesAfter School All StarsAfterschool AllianceAlliance for Strong Families & CommunitiesAlphaBEST EducationAmerica SCORESAmerican Camp AssociationAmerican Federation of TeachersAmerican Heart AssociationAmerica's Promise AllianceAssociation for Child and Youth Care Practice, ImcAssociation of School Business Officials InternationalAssociation of Science and Technology CentersAvodahBadass Teachers AssociationBELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life)Bolster Collaborative, Inc.BOOST Collaborative
