The purpose of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) (Title IV-B) grant is to establish community learning centers focused on helping children succeed academically through the application of evidence-based practices when school is not in session.  

The mission of David Douglas School District (DDSD)'s 21st CCLC program is to provide a safe and supportive environment with positive interactions between adults and students, and students with peers, within the context of providing meaningful, well-rounded activities that promote students' social-emotional and academic achievement, as well as family engagement to ensure student success.
