Communities In Schools of Central Washington would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Yakima Valley Partners for Education for their incredible support through $14,800 in College & Career Readiness funding.

Thanks to YVPE's investment, we were able to impact 3,213 students across the Yakima Valley with meaningful college and career exploration opportunities. Their support allowed us to take students on in-person college visits, introduce them to a variety of post-secondary pathways, and create engaging activities that encouraged them to think about their future goals and aspirations.

Through hands-on lessons and career-focused experiences, students learned about the opportunities available through colleges, universities, technical schools, and skilled trades. These experiences helped open their minds to new possibilities and inspired them to begin exploring the careers they may want to pursue as they grow older.

Thank You for Supporting Our 2026 Community Breakfast Fundraiser!

Last month, Communities In Schools of Central Washington welcomed community members, partners, sponsors, and supporters to our annual Community Breakfast Fundraiser. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who attended and helped make the event a success.

The morning was filled with inspiring stories of student impact, meaningful connections, and a shared commitment to ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed in school and in life. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we can continue providing vital resources, individualized support, and opportunities to students and families throughout the Yakima Valley.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors and donors:

Congratulations to our raffle winners Suzy Diaz, Oscar Reyes, Amber Green, and Elizabeth Shively

We are also grateful to our school partners, volunteers, staff, and every individual who attended, donated, and believes in our mission.

Since the event, donations have continued to trickle in from our generous supporters, bringing our total fundraising efforts to $6,687. Every dollar raised helps us continue surrounding students with a community of support, providing resources, encouragement, and opportunities that help them stay in school and achieve in life.

We want to send a huge thank you to The Salvation Army, Dollar Tree, and Five Below for their generous donations!

Because of your support, we were able to restock much-needed basic need items & Incentives for our students. These essentials make a real difference and help remove barriers so students can focus on learning and success. If you made a donation at the Dollar Tree last week, please know that you made a difference in a local student's life.
