CAYCI strongly supports 21st Century Community Learning Centers and the important work they do enhancing the education of children, supporting families, promoting healthy youth development, and bringing together communities. The many ways CAYCI supports 21st Century Community Learning Centers include:
Professional development linking program administrators and staff to research based best practices in the fields that enhance good outcomes for children and youth.
Technical assistance, expert assistance is available for program personnel and school administrators on issues that arise in out-of-school time programs.
Research and program evaluation. (Please see our quality program assessment tool, the Ohio-Quality Assessment Rubric, companion Afterschool Parent Survey tool, and Afterschool Youth Survey tool , and Statewide O-QAR Report.)
Over the past few years in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education, a variety of tools and resources have been created to support the work of 21st CCLCs and other youth development programs. A complete listing of these resources, including professional development seminars, policy briefs, and other tools, can found by visiting this site.
