Klamath Promise Neighborhood: Community Celebration Dinner

March 22nd, 2024, the community was invited to the Betty Green Event Center in the Elk Valley Casino in Crescent City. The reason for the festive evening was the Klamath Promise Neighborhood Grant Initiative.

The Klamath Promise Neighborhood – KPN – hosted the community dinner as the culminating event of a weeklong series of open houses, celebrations and grand-openings that focused attention on the work of more than a dozen KPN Community Partners. Those partners – from the School District and Workforce Center to First Five and Gateway Education – were all represented, and joined in celebrating the community collaborations that define the Klamath Promise Neighborhood.

In 2021, the Yurok Tribe was awarded a $30 million Promise Neighborhood Grant from the US Department of Education. Since then, through the Klamath Promise Neighborhood Initiative, the tribe has sought to partner with and provide funding to a ton of local organizations, all striving toward the collective goal of making Del Norte a healthier, happier, more resilient place – a Promise Neighborhood.

Award-winning Indigenous Hip Hop Artist Sten Joddi – best known for his role in the FX production Reservation Dogs – was present and performed, as well.
