This page contains information regarding the Department of Education's annual Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Summer Symposium.

2023 - New Orleans, LA

The 2023 Summer Symposium was held from July 19-20, 2023 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s conference—Celebrating 21st CCLC Resilience: Yesterday, Today, and Beyond—provided successful strategies that State educational agencies (SEAs) and their grantees can use to implement and manage all components of a 21st CCLC program. Attendees heard from nationally recognized speakers during plenary sessions and worked closely with education experts and peers during interactive workshops. SEAs and grantees gained valuable perspectives on afterschool issues and received important updates about the 21st CCLC program.
