Celebrating Local Wins & Opportunities Across the North State
North State Together’s March 2026 edition of NSTogether highlights strong regional momentum driven by collaboration, innovation, and student-centered impact. The 9th Annual Summit emphasized that long-term sustainability requires strategic partnerships, diversified funding, and authentic storytelling, while hands-on workshops strengthened stakeholder engagement and data-driven planning. Across the region, GRAD Partnership schools and environmental workforce initiatives are creating meaningful, real-world learning experiences—from forestry and restoration projects to construction and internship pathways—helping students connect education to career opportunities. At the same time, events like the Chico State Rural Student Voice Conference elevated youth perspectives and reinforced the value of rural identity. Together, these efforts reflect a united commitment to building opportunity, strengthening communities, and preparing the next generation of leaders across the North State.
