Educational Outreach Programs
21st Century Community Learning Centers
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (CCLC) is a federally-funded collaboration between RACC and the Reading School District. The program provides after-school and summer programming for over 900 at-risk elementary and middle school students at 11 local school and neighborhood churches.
The CCLC program provides homework tutoring, intensive Reading and Math instruction and/or remediation, and over 50 enrichment classes such as Karate, Drama, Introduction to Business, Ecology and Computer Exploration.
Students in the program enjoy educational field trips and a daily hot meal. Community agencies partner with the sites to provide additional cultural, social and recreational activities for the students and their families. Adult Education classes such as ESL, Spanish GED and Workforce Training, are offered to parents at no charge.
