Student Opportunities for Advocacy and Resilience

21st CCLC programs operate on a five-year grant cycle through the Oregon Department of Education. These after-school programs are federally funded through a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant, a section of Title-IV of the Every Student Succeeds Act. 

TTSD works in partnership with schools and community-based organizations to provide academic support and enrichment programming. Programs are open to ALL students attending the schools identified and are FREE of charge.

We are also looking for parent and community volunteers to help out consistently with the program. Please let us know if you are interested in a volunteer opportunity!
