Nebraska Afterschool leaders had great meetings today on Capitol Hill! We discussed the vital impact of 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding on families across the state.

​Our Nebraska elected officials know that these programs are more than just "afterschool"—they are a lifeline for working parents and a launchpad for student success. From boosting STEM skills to providing a safe environment, to being the first and last classrooms of rhe day, 21st CCLC keeps Nebraska moving forward.

Big Thank You to the staff members for Senator Pete Ricketts, Senator Deb Fischer, Congressman Don Bacon, and Congressman Adrian Smith for chatting with us today!

CLC proud! Way to go Hartley students!!
