Welcome to the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Profile and Performance Information Collection System (PPICS).

The purpose of this system is to collect basic information about 21st CCLC programs across the United States.

PPICS was created in 2003 at the commission of the US Department of Education (ED). The system was built to help ED track 21st CCLC programming following the transition from federal to state administration, which took place in 2001.

Each year, PPICS is used to collect program data from some 3,000 21st CCLC grants covering close to 9,000 centers serving 1.5 million student attendees.
