The Regional After School Program (RASP) is partially funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Program grant. The 21st CCLC Program is a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education that is administered by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. This program was established by Congress as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It provides grants to communities to develop or expand on out-of-school time programs. These programs give students opportunities for academic enrichment and provide a broad array of additional services that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program
Two key components to the success of the RASP program are family and community. Various Dickinson Public school programs, civic organizations, and community agencies partner with the RASP program to provide activities and services to students, as well as their families.
