Through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, U-TURN, Inc. is collaborating locally with Carver Elementary and Elkhardt Middle Schools in an effort to provide health/wellness and life skills education. U-TURN provides an array of physical activities and challenges which battle obesity and the sedentary lifestyle.
The focus of this program, authorized under Title X, Part I, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, is to provide expanded learning opportunities for participating children in a safe, drug-free and supervised environment. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CLC) program enables schools to stay open longer, providing a safe place for homework centers, intensive mentoring in basic skills, drug and violence prevention counseling, helping middle school students to prepare to take college prep courses in high school, enrichment in the core academic subjects as well as opportunities to participate in recreational activities, chorus, band and the arts, technology education programs and services for children and youth with disabilities.
