🚨Afterschool programs across the country are at risk.
The proposed FY 2027 federal budget would eliminate funding for 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), which currently supports nearly 10,000 programs serving 1.4 million children and families.
The plan would replace it with a smaller $2B block grant, cutting access and resources for community programs. This decision is not final, Congress will determine the outcome.
Use your voice! Contact your representatives at 3to6.co/congress and demand protection for the programs kids rely on every day.
