The City of Charlotte aims to improve neighborhood quality of life through a community engagement strategy that ensures children are safe, succeeding in school, and supported by their community. An integral component to achieving this goal is providing funding to organizations that deliver high-quality out-of-school time services to children and youth in high need neighborhoods.
