About 21st CCLC External Organizations

In order to increase the capacity of North Dakota's communities to offer high-quality 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) applications and programs, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction to make available a list of potential North Dakota non-profit "external organizations" that 21st CCLC applicants may be interested in partnering with when building a 21st CCLC out-of-school-time program.  Community partnerships within 21st CCLC programs are strongly encouraged as they have the potential to increase program quality, variety, and sustainability. 

The term “external organization” is defined by ESSA as: 

  • A nonprofit organization with a record of success in running or working with before and after school (or summer recess) programs and activities; or 

  • In the case of a community where there is no such organization, a nonprofit organization in the community that enters into a written agreement or partnership with an organization described in subparagraph (A) to receive mentoring and guidance in running or working with before and after school (or summer recess) programs and activities (ESSA, section 4201).

Emerado is interested in providing innovation and STEM related services to students who have experienced trauma, poverty, and transient lifestyles. We would like to provide our students with memorable, innovative, and creative practices that can be applied anywhere. The ND SmartLab is a program that the center for distance learning provides for schools to apply. Right now, we are hoping to expand to a wing of the school by adding a room for our library, and one for STEM/STEAM/Innovation Learning for after-school as well as in-school.
