After-School Update in Buffalo

The 3rd round of 21st Century Community Learning Center grants was announced last week.  Three grants were given to the Buffalo programs and one grant was given to a program in Cheektowaga (a nearby suburb). All four grantees are active members of the Public Policy and Education Fund’s after-school campaign. Rich Dombkowski, KLCC fellow and after-school provider, played a lead role not only in writing the grant for his program but in also pulling together a creative collaboration between schools, providers and community organizations.
