Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County is requesting the Florida Department of Education Bureau of Family and Community Outreach to fund the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC Program) at four Title I schools in north Sarasota County.  The proposed 21st CCLC Program will be operated by Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County and take place at Alta Vista Elementary, which is located 1050 South Euclid Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34237; Emma E. Booker Elementary, which is located at 2350 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Sarasota, FL 34234; Booker Middle School, which is located at 2250 Myrtle Street, Sarasota, FL 34234; and Tuttle Elementary, which is located at 2863 8th Street, Sarasota, FL 34237. The program will provide youth in both elementary and middle school, as well as their families, with project-based learning opportunities during non-school hours for academic enrichment such as youth development activities, service learning, nutrition and health education, drug and violence prevention programs, art and music instruction and more. The goal of the 21st CCLC Program is for the youth participants to ultimately achieve state student standards in core subjects including math, reading and science, while offering their families opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children’s education, including literacy and related educational development.   The agency anticipates the submitted application will be available for download at bgcsarasota.com by August 1.
