FDDOC has worked with the web based data system with the 21st Century Community Learning Center program, and has demonstrated the importance of accurate and timely information on program participants.

Project partners include Caddo Parish School Board,  Emmanuel Church of God in Christ, City of Shreveport, Shreveport Fire Department, Midway Professional Development Elementary, Oak Park Elementary and Laurel St. 6^th Grade Center, Bethune Academy, Shreveport Community Church, Ron Anderson, LLC, Educational Solutions Corporation, Mooretown Elementary, Sunset Acres Elementary (ICE - Inner City Entrepreneur Institute), Joseph Foundation. A series of meetings to discuss this project were held to determine program support, goals and needs. These meetings developed the guidelines for this program. The issue of attracting the students to the after-school program was a main topic, which concluded the need to provide high quality, fun activities to compete for the student’s time, and a hearty snack, educational and enrichment programs, followed by transportation to bring the children home was the parents major concerns. FDDOC met both their needs.
