The Yurok Tribe was awarded a $30 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Promise Neighborhoods to create a regional five-year effort for a "cradle-school-career pathway project" that will build programs and support services for students in Del Norte County.
“The Yurok Education Department is excited about what this grant means for our families, our students and the community as a whole. In partnership with the True North Organizing Network, Del Norte schools, First-5, Del Norte Child Care Council and other local entities, we will build sustainable supports, services and programs that help our students succeed as they make their way from pre-kindergarten to college to a satisfying professional career,” said Jim McQuillen, Yurok Education Department director. "I look forward to establishing the high-quality learning opportunities our students need and deserve."
