The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is implementing this statewide opportunity for Pennsylvanian nonprofit organizations to submit an external organization profile application. This application will be vetted, by PDE and included on a list of prescreened eligible providers (providers with specific expertise in one or more resource areas pertaining to after school programming, quality programming, and allowable activities). Examples of eligible programs/resources areas are youth development activities, service learning, nutrition/health education, drug and violence prevention, counseling, arts, music, physical fitness/wellness, technology education, financial literacy, environmental literacy, mathematics, science, career, technical skills, internships, apprenticeships, cultural competency/inclusion and organizational quality improvement programs.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, which reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) provides for the creation of a list of external organizations that may provide technical assistance to a Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learner Center grantees.
This prescreened list of eligible providers is a resource to grantees seeking technical assistance to support their Nita M. Lowey 21st CCLC afterschool program.
