The University of Memphis Center for Research in Educational Policy (CREP) has received a $132,499 award from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to continue evaluating Virginia’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.
The federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers program supports afterschool and summer learning opportunities for students across Virginia. CREP serves as VDOE’s external evaluator, providing statewide evaluation and technical support designed to assess program implementation and outcomes and support continuous improvement.

The center is also working with VDOE on a local evaluation initiative that will provide participating centers with additional data and support to better understand and demonstrate the impact of their programs within their communities.
