21st Century Learning
The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) has implemented a program, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC), to provide opportunities for communities to establish or expand activities in communities that:
• provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial services to help students, particularly students who attend low- performing schools, to meet state and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics;
• offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities, such as youth development activities, drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, art, music, and recreation programs, technology education programs, and character education programs, that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students; and,
• offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development.
HRDF partners with the East End Family Resource Center in Charleston, WV, to enhance after school program activities through coordinated efforts to offer mentoring, tutoring, and support services.In 1997 the Baptist Temple, located in the East End of Charleston, was looking at future directions for the church. As many churches, they were interested in the community and how they could improve it. Two key persons at the Baptist Temple that wanted to make a difference in the community. Margaret Bishop and Carol Mollohan. Their hard work and dedication led to the formation of the East End Coalition.
The EEFRC was organized by the East End Coalition for Families in 2001. The Coalition comprised of residents, businesses, city leaders, and others believed that an East End Family Resource Center serving individuals and families living in the East End of Charleston would promote the well-being of the community and enable residents to use resources that are available. The EEFRC also provides an opportunity to develop new programs that “fill the gaps” as needed.
