OUR PARTNERS
The following organizations work in close partnership with the U.S. Department of Education to implement the 21st CCLC National Technical Assistance Center.
The 21st CCLC NTAC coordinates and collaborates with federal and nonfederal partners, including private-sector partners, whose work aligns with the 21st CCLC NTAC priority and focus areas. Our ultimate goal is to bring the most valuable resources to 21st CCLC professionals to meet today’s needs and build program capacity over time.
