The Union League Boys & Girls Clubs, in collaboration with the Illinois Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs and the Roberto Clemente Community Academy (Chicago Public School District), intends to apply for a continuation of its 21st Century Community Learning Center grant for FY16. The grant was initially awarded in FY13 and, through the grant continuation process, will continue until FY17.

-Improved academic achievement
-Enrichment services that reinforce and complement the academic program, and
-Family literacy and related educational development services
