Yuba County Office Of Education Foundation

The Yuba County Office of Education Foundation supports local students by providing essential resources that schools can't afford, ensuring every child can focus on their education without worrying about unmet basic needs.

🎉 Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Yuba County Education Foundation&#39;s first-ever fundraising event. It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 It&#39;s a farm-to-table feast like you&#39;ve never experienced, where the chefs are all students in local culinary programs, and they&#39;re competing to take home bragging rights with both awards determined by both professional chef judges and a &quot;People&#39;s Choice&quot; category! So come out and enjoy an amazing meal, made with local ingredients from Yuba County farms and ranches, cheer on your student or your school, vote for your favorite side dish, salad and dessert, and support our efforts to raise funds Yuba County students in need.&nbsp; The Yuba County Education Foundation is a brand-new 501c3 nonprofit created to help fill the gaps for those things that schools just can&#39;t pay for - for example: needing new eyeglasses after their only pair broke. Our goal is that students should not have to worry about those things, so they can stay focused on getting a good education.&nbsp; Join us in raising the bar and ensuring basic needs are met for Yuba County&#39;s students.&nbsp;

Help every Yuba County 4th grader experience salmon up close 🐟Since 2018, Yuba Water Agency has fully funded Salmon Expedition field trips for every 4th grader in Yuba County &mdash; giving nearly 1,500 students each year the opportunity to raft the Yuba River, witness returning salmon, and learn firsthand about our watershed, local history and environmental stewardship. For many students, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one they never forget.Following the February infrastructure incident impacting Yuba Water, the agency has had to redirect financial resources toward critical repair and restoration efforts and is unable to continue funding the program at this time.Without community support, Yuba County&rsquo;s 4th graders will lose this extraordinary educational opportunity.

The Yuba County Educational Foundation is working to raise $161,000 to preserve the program for this year&rsquo;s students. Together with the South Yuba River Citizens League, we have raised about $100,000, so far from generous local businesses and individuals, leaving about $60,000&nbsp;to raise by August 15 to ensure none of the kids are left behind this year.&nbsp; About the trips:&nbsp;The Salmon Expeditions take place each fall during the salmon run.
