These programs, administered by the states, support the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The programs help students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math. They offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs and offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
