The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) are pleased to announce the 13 organizations selected to receive a 100 Schools Initiative grant award.

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) partners with Naselle Youth Camp (NYC) to provide firefighting training and job skills to youth in residence. During this very difficult fire season, a crew of 10 residents was dispatched from the facility to assist with the Evans Canyon fire in Central Washington.

The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) is waiving copayments for the months of October, November and December 2020 for families receiving Child Care Subsidies. Waiving copays allows eligible families to keep more of their income to meet other needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many public and private organizations across the country, including Washington State, are being targeted by a large-scale, highly sophisticated phishing campaign.

Washington State is taking proactive measures to protect state systems, which may require taking certain applications offline temporarily. There is no known indication of state services being impacted at this time.
