Request a Grant Writer

Grants to Florida community-based organizations, IHEs, LEAs, and other public and private entities to operate educational enrichment programming outside of regular school hours. Funding is intended to increase the academic success of children and youth in low-performing and high-poverty schools. In addition, the program also offers literacy services to the families of participating children.

This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide high-yield academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state student standards in core academic subjects, such as English language arts (ELA) and mathematics; offers students a broad array of high yield enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

Eligible target populations for these funds include students who attend 1) schools identified as in need of Targeted Support and Intervention (TS&I) or Comprehensive Support and Intervention (CS&I), and 2) other schools determined by local educational agencies (LEAs) to be in need of intervention and support. For a list of LEA-identified schools, see Supporting Documents below.
