Communities In Schools of Brunswick County in partnership with Brunswick County Schools operates three 21st Century Community Learning Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The three learning centers provide free academic and enrichment opportunities for children, particularly those who attend high poverty and low performing schools. The centers are designed to help students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, by offering an array of enrichment activities that complement the daytime academic programs. The Learning Centers offer literacy and other educational services to the families of the participating students. Emphasis is on academic support and remediation, math and reading, character education, parent involvement and drug and violence prevention.
Eligibility RequirementsActivities are open to all level I & level II students in grades three, four and five from Belville, Lincoln and Supply Elementary Schools on a first come first serve basis with completed registration forms.
The term of the award is 4 years, with a reduction of funds by 20% in the third year and 40% in the 4th year. Counties that demonstrated the greatest need for funds to provide 21st Century Community Learning Centers received awards for the development and implementation of approved programs.
