21st Century
students served across a 15-year partnership with MSD of Pike Township
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC) is federally funded, awarded to public school corporations, charter schools, community-based organizations, and secular FBOs to provide youth with a safe environment during non-school hours.
This program fosters community learning centers that offer academic enrichment opportunities for youth, especially those from high-poverty and underperforming schools. It supports and strengthens efforts to boost student academic performance, helps youth meet state and local standards in core subjects, provides enrichment that supports social, emotional, and behavioral growth, and delivers literacy and educational services to the families of participating youth.
MSD of Pike Township
CIESC has partnered with the MSD of Pike Township to manage its after-school programs for 15 years, serving over 5,000 elementary, middle, and high school students. Our current programs (Cohort 10 and Cohort 11) serve Central, Eastbrook, Deer Run, Guion Creek, and Snacks Crossing elementary students, plus 9th–12th-grade students at Pike High School.

Impact
“As afterschool program teachers, we’ve witnessed remarkable growth in our students. Our STEM lessons ignite curiosity and problem-solving skills, while our SEL focus builds resilience and empathy. We’ve seen shy students find their voice, struggling learners discover their potential, and a community built on collaboration and mutual respect. It’s a privilege to witness their academic and personal development firsthand.”
