We at Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County (BGCPBC) would like to inform the public that we are in the process of preparing eight proposals to the Florida Department of Education to establish 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) programs during the 2024-25 program year beginning August 1, 2024.  Proposals are due on May 31, 2024, and they will be posted on BGCPBC’s website dedicated to its existing 21st CCLC programs on or before Monday, June 3, 2024.

21st CCLC programs provide free, high-quality programming to students during non-school hours and during periods when school is not in session such as winter, spring, and summer breaks. 21st CCLC programs help students meet state academic standards in core academic subjects, such as English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics; offer students a broad array of high-yield enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
