Congress was watching; by 2002, the Congressional appropriation for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grew to almost $1 billion per year.

The program, an outgrowth of a countywide needs-assessment survey in 1998, resulted in the creation of the Community Learning Centers of Wood County.

After-school learning programs, such as the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, should also be offered.

Community Learning Centers will provide teachers, administrators, parents, and community leaders with every tool needed to successfully achieve important education goals with such a transition including improved and high levels of student academic performance; after school programs providing enrichment activities in a safe environment; acquisition of essential technological skills by students and other members of the community; expanding leadership opportunities for teachers, students, and community members; and unlocking the storehouse of educational resources present in the community at large in support of the education of the community's youth.

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program offers $325 million in grants, handled by each state's respective State Education Agency.

The federal grants were awarded by the State Department of Education under the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which seeks to establish or expand community learning centers for students at low-achieving or high-poverty schools.
