Every Student, Every Day Society, in partnership with the Government of Yukon, has awarded $200,000 to 22 locally designed and led projects across the Yukon through the Every Student, Every Day fund.Â
Over the next school year, schools and school councils will implement 22 projects designed to help increase student attendance. These projects work directly to remove barriers, increase engagement in student learning and promote a greater sense of belonging in school communities.Â
Since its establishment in 2012, the Every Student, Every Day fund has directly supported more than 200 local student attendance projects with over $1.85 million raised from Yukon businesses and individual donations. Â
This year, the Every Student, Every Day fund introduced a new funding category to support kitchen improvements in schools. This allows schools and school councils to purchase kitchen equipment and appliances, helping to bridge funding gaps and strengthen collaboration between the Every Student, Every Day Society, the Government of Yukon and local non-profits to better support student nutrition.
