Come with your ideas and questions to our office hours Mondays, 3:30-5 pm. Look for FP 357 in iGrants or use this link to learn more. This grant is dispersed on a rolling basis with initial awards occurring at the end of September. Contact Sheila Wilson for more information: sheila.wilson@k12.wa.us or 360-561-0203.
Outdoor education is a great way to connect your students to learning – whether for science or multi-content high school credits. This can also apply toward a work experience IAP or be a step toward an industry-recognized credential [e.g., BASF Plant Science Certification, Certified Irrigation Technician (CIT), WISHA 10 for Agriculture (L&I), etc.].

- The YSB Academy provides local workforce systems and their community partners with individualized training and tailored technical assistance as they create plans to explore, design, test, implement, or scale system-level approaches to engage and support young people entering the workforce.
- As a part of the YSB Academy, participating local communities will create actionable and sustainable plans to implement a range of activities.
- Communities may plan to align workforce resources and investments with education, child welfare, juvenile justice, TANF, SNAP, housing, transportation, or disability systems.
- They may leverage data to broaden understanding of how to ensure equitable access to programming, or they may enhance their knowledge of positive youth development and trauma-informed principles.
