The purpose of Georgia’s Title IV, Part B, Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is to provide federal funds for communities to establish or expand activities in community learning centers that operate during out-of-school hours and serve three specific purposes: 

• To provide opportunities for academic enrichment and tutorial services to help students meet state and local academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math
• To offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program; and
• To offer families of 21st CCLC students opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children's education.

Glynn County has been awarded a 21st CCLC grant for FY25 through FY29. These funds are used for "Afterschool Matters" programs (in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club of Southeast Georgia) in grades K-2 and 3-5 at Altama Elementary, Burroughs-Mollette Elementary, and Goodyear Elementary; and in grade 6 at Glynn Middle, Jane Macon Middle, Needwood Middle, and Risley Middle.
