In addition, parent, family, and community engagement activities also receive support. Activities implemented by current grantees include, but are not limited to, tutoring and mentoring, academic enrichment (e.g., homework assistance, reading, math, science, and technology programs), service learning, character education, physical education and recreational activities, and dropout prevention. Further, funding is made available to support the awarded programs, students, and staff for the next four years.
Funds are awarded through a competitive process to a select group of applicants, demonstrating a strong commitment to expanding high-quality out-of-school programming.
