21st CCLC Goal: Assist youth to meet state standards for core academic subjects by providing them with academic and enrichment opportunities.
The YMCA 21st Century Community Learning Center Program offers free academic support and enrichment opportunities to help students with homework and tutoring. In addition to academic assistance, the program includes a wide range of enrichment activities such as STEAM lessons, physical education, art, cooking, and more!
All children must submit a completed enrollment form to the Bradford Family YMCA or email it directly to your child's program director. Enrollment forms are processed twice a month. Forms received by the 15th of the month will allow the child to start the program on the 1st of the following month. Forms received by the 1st of the month will allow the child to start the program on the 15th of that month. Prior to attending, Program Directors will contact parents/guardians with their child/children's start date.
All sites follow the Bradford Area School District Academic Calendar. There is no 21st CCLC Program on No School Days, Early Dismissals or on days when after school activities are canceled (i.e., weather, etc.)
