The ND Afterschool Network has a new name! The North Dakota Afterschool Network is now the North Dakota Out-of-School Time (OST) Network. After a year of strategic planning, we made the decision to change the Network's name to better reflect the programs and communities that we serve in North Dakota.
Along with our name change, the Network has a new look! You'll find fresh logos, colors, and a refurbished website (https://ndostnetwork.org/) that represent our commitment to North Dakota and the people that believe in the power of out-of-school time.

Meet Jennie, CCA's new Referral Specialist 💙❤️
About Jennie:
"I am proud to have a diverse professional background, with each opportunity providing valuable and meaningful experience. I spent seven years working at a cupcake shop, where I held nearly every role within the business and gained a strong foundation in operations, customer service, and teamwork. I later worked as a Business Operations Associate at Microsoft, where I developed analytical, organizational, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Most recently, I worked in technology sales for a local technology company, further strengthening my communication, relationship-building, and strategic thinking abilities. Although these roles were quite different from one another, each helped me build a unique set of skills and, most importantly, clarified the type of work I am most passionate about."
A fun fact?
"I just became an aunt to the sweetest little niece ever!"
