21st Century Community Learning Centers
Extra support. Real skills. At school, after school.
The YMCA of Greater Cincinnati has partnered with local schools since 2005 to bring after school enrichment programs directly to students who need extra support. This is not just homework help — it’s STEM, art, physical education, cooking, service projects, and more.
Middle and high school programs focus on college and career readiness and test preparation. Students build leadership, decision-making, and communication skills in a program designed around their real lives.
This 21st century learning program serves students across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky at the schools listed below.
Kentucky schools Arnett Elementary · Caywood Elementary · Dayton High School · Grandview Elementary · Lincoln Elementary · Miles Elementary · Rylan Heights Elementary · Southgate Independent K–8 · Woodland Middle School · R.A. Jones Middle School
Ohio schools Felicity-Franklin High School · Princeton Middle · Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Elementary
To register, contact your child’s school and ask for the 21st Century Site Coordinator.
