Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area (BGCAA) hereby provides public notice of its intent to apply for funding under the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Grant, Cycle 13. This federal program, administered in Texas by the Texas Education Agency, supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for students during non-school hours, particularly those who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools.

Through this application, BGCAA seeks to expand high-quality, research-based out-of-school-time programming that advances academic support, youth development, and family engagement. If awarded, BGCAA will implement programs in partnership with Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) and community stakeholders to ensure safe, accessible, and developmentally appropriate learning environments for students and their families.

Grant funding will support an academic-focused program serving students at Joe Lee Johnson, Wells Branch, Anderson Mill, Bluebonnet, Neysa Callison, Union Hill, Claude Berkman, Voigt, Robertson, and Caldwell Heights Elementary Schools.

All program sites, schedules, and services will be communicated broadly to the public following award announcements. Community partners, parents, and residents are invited to provide input or request additional information by contacting us at paul.turner@bgcaustin.org

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area appreciates the continued support of our community as we pursue this opportunity to strengthen educational outcomes and enhance the overall well-being of youth across our region.
