Booker Elementary, which is located at 2350 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Sarasota, FL 34234; Booker Middle School, which is located at 2250 Myrtle Street, Sarasota, FL 34234; and Tuttle Elementary, which is located at 2863 8th Street, Sarasota, FL 34237. The program will provide youth in both elementary and middle school, as well as their families, with project-based learning opportunities during non-school hours for academic enrichment such as youth development activities, service learning, nutrition and health education, drug and violence prevention programs, art and music instruction and more. The goal of the 21st CCLC Program is for the youth participants to ultimately achieve state student standards in core subjects including math, reading and science, while offering their families opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children’s education, including literacy and related educational development.   The agency anticipates the submitted application will be available for download at bgcsarasota.com by August 1.
