The eeBLUE 21st CCLC Watershed STEM Education Partnership Grants, administered by NAAEE in collaboration with NOAA and supported by the U.S. Department of Education, support environmental education organizations working directly with 21st CCLC sites. These sites play a crucial role in designing and implementing locally relevant, out-of-school-time programs that develop students' environmental literacy and leadership skills as they improve their communities.
First launched in 2020, these grants support programming for local Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) sites and their students, many of whom live in underserved areas. The current grant cycle operates from 2024–2025, and the 12 selected projects serve 11 states, ranging from Hawai'i to Maine.
