GEAR UP School Districts We Serve

Through the Two Valleys - One Vision GEAR UP grant, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, The Power of Hope has been able to serve hundreds of students in 14 school districts across Skagit and Yakima Valleys. In addition we've also partnered with other organizations serving GEAR UP families, such as The Parent Academy, to deliver community-building workshops for the parents and families of GEAR UP students.

Here is a list of the school districts served by the Power of Hope/ GEAR UP partnership:
Yakima Valley:
East Valley School District
Goldendale School District
Granger School District
Grandview School District
Mabton School District
Mt. Adams School District
Sunnyside School District

In addition to offering a range of exciting youth programs, we also offer professional development workshops for teachers serving GEAR UP youth. Our trainings are designed to connect teachers with their own creativity and to discover the many ways that they can integrate arts-based activities into their classroom to better enhance student learning and commitment.
