I AM Advancing Modoc!
Advancing Modoc is one of 10 county members in the North State Together collaborative. North State Together is a regional network of cross-sector partners who have come together to strengthen educational outcomes from cradle to career for ALL in far Northern California. Our county network teams bring together community leaders, cross-sector partners, families and students that combine expertise to work toward a vision of student success. They are composed of staff and faculty from our region’s K-12 districts, community colleges, a CSU and UC, nonprofit organizations, government, and local industry leaders. This network of practitioners and experts collaborate to guide regional and county level initiatives and craft tactical plans that will help student populations in the North State.
We started as Advancing Modoc Youth in 2019 with the goal of improving social mobility for Modoc residents from birth-26 years old. After being awarded the K16 Collaborative grant in 2022, our Executive Committee expanded our reach from cradle to career and citizenship. We became Advancing Modoc with the mission to Grow, Train, and Retain ALL Modoc residents through solid healthy foundations in childhood, life-long training and education, and retention through youth-led initiatives and community development.
I am Advancing Modoc. You are Advancing Modoc. We are all Advancing Modoc together!
