North State Together is thrilled to announce the creation of a new county collaborative in Trinity County. Trinity Together: Cradle to Career Partnership (TTCCP) is comprised of leaders from the Trinity County Office of Education and the education community, the local business community and local service organizations. This collaborative will focus on youth between the ages of 0-24, and will join the efforts already in place in Shasta County, with Reach Higher Shasta, and Tehama County, with Expect More Tehama, as well as newly formed collaboratives in Siskiyou and Modoc counties.
North State Together was formed through a $2.5 million dollar, three year grant awarded by the McConnell Foundation, allowing the creation of a regional hub, which in turn supports the collaborative efforts in the five-county region of the North State. The overarching goal is to increase educational options at all levels, with ultimate impacts on overall economic and community health; however, North State Together strives to balance community autonomy with broader support so that local leaders can create local solutions that directly connect to community needs.
