Click
here to take action now!
Complete elimination of Community Learning Centers funding will affect more than 26,000 children in NJ and nearly 2 million nationwide, leaving parents without reliable afterschool options. We can't let that happen.
Congress will determine whether local afterschool and summer learning programs remain open, reduce their services, or close their doors. If the 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative is eliminated, many programs will not survive.
With your help, it's possible to persuade Congress to protect afterschool choices again.
