Children of the Valley
Children of the Valley
Children of the Valley is an after-school program. We provide a positive, caring, and supportive environment for children of low-income families that values and respects each child’s God given potential, while offering a variety of cultural enrichment activities as well as academic support.
Skagit Land Trust
Skagit Land Trust
Skagit Land Trust works with partners and the public to protect and restore wildlife habitat, agricultural and forest lands, scenic open space, wetlands, and shorelines for the benefit of our community and as a legacy for future generations of people and wildlife. The Trust engages people of all ages to care for, connect with, and learn about the natural lands that make the Skagit so special.
The Trust’s Conservation Classrooms program allows youth across Skagit County to develop a sense of place, learn to value conservation and the plants and animals living in their community, and gain the physical and social/emotional benefits of time in nature. Skagit Land Trust protects nearly 9000 acres and 46 miles of shoreline. Many of the Trust’s Conservation Areas are open for the public, and feature trails and wildlife viewing areas. Learn more at www.skagitlandtrust.org.
Page Ahead
Page Ahead
Guided by the fact that literacy is essential to lifelong success, Page Ahead provides new books and develops reading activities that empower at-risk children.
Founded in 1990, Page Ahead Children’s Literacy Program has given more than four million new books to more than one million children through collaborations with schools, social service agencies, preschools, and early childhood programs across Washington. We work to erase the early reading gap for children in communities of concentrated low-income before it becomes an “achievement” gap.
North Cascades Institute
North Cascades Institute
The North Cascades Institute’s mission is to inspire and empower environmental stewardship for all through transformative educational experiences in nature. The Institute was founded in 1986 as a conservation organization aimed at protecting the North Cascades ecosystem through education. NCI believes people will protect what they love.
When people spend time in the natural world, they begin to see the more-than-human world as kin rather than a “resource” to be exploited. NCI helps people of all ages and backgrounds experience and enjoy the mountains, rivers, forests, wildlife, and people of the Pacific Northwest.
