Education 2 Employment Pilot Program Celebrates Graduates

Through support from the Solano County Board of Supervisors, SCOE was able to celebrate graduates from our pilot Education 2 Employment (E2E) program! E2E is a pilot partnership with school districts to identify and reengage youth ages 16-24 who have been out of school or who are at risk of dropping out. E2E is an opportunity for students to complete their graduation requirements, obtain paid work experiences and connect to other needed supports and services. E2E helps students remove barriers to success, practice what they are learning at their workplace and eventually generate a selfsufficient wage. SCOE appreciates the ongoing support and collaboration with Solano County to assist in improving the quality of life for students and families. Congratulations graduates!

Summer Learning & Experiences with the Xplore Solano App

Places to go and things to do, in one convenient app.

Outdoor experiences for children are crucial for their holistic development, as they foster a sense of exploration, enhance physical fitness, promote mental well-being, encourage social interaction, cultivate environmental awareness, and nurture a deep connection with nature that lasts a lifetime.

In 2021, Solano Land Trust inspired a partnership bringing together the Cities of Fairfield and Vacaville, the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD), Solano County Office of Education, Solano County Parks, Solano Transportation Authority, Solano Public Health and Park Rx to create Xplore Solano, a community app connecting Solano County residents to places to go and things to do outside.

Powered by the OuterSpatial app, each partner organization posts to the Xplore Solano Community account with events, activities, trails, parks, and more. Xplore Solano offers families one convenient app to find where to go and what to do outdoors in Solano County. So, download the OuterSpatial app and get outside today!
