Every Student, Every Day, in partnership with the Government of Yukon, is committing $200,000 funding to support student attendance improvement projects for the 2025-26 school year. This funding will continue to support innovative, grassroots projects designed to boost student attendance across northern Canada.
This joint effort will continue supporting educators, schools, community organizations and First Nations in their vital work to help students thrive.
For this year, a new project funding category has been added, to clarify funding around purchasing small kitchen equipment and appliances and to fill the gap with other funding programs that help schools feed students, maximizing collaboration between Every Student, Every Day, Government of Yukon and other non-profits.
Applications are now open for the 2025-26 school year. The application form is available on Every Student, Every Day's website at www.everystudenteveryday.ca and is also distributed by the Department of Education to all Yukon school principals. Projects can be submitted by educators, school administrators, school councils, Yukon First Nations and community groups.
The submission deadline is Friday, March 28, 2025.
