Welcome back to school!

Even though this year looks a little different, we are happy to be back and excited for some great opportunities coming to middle school students in Yuma.

We are excited to introduce Heidi Jones as the new Director of Strategic Partnerships at Yuma ABEC. Heidi comes to us with over 25 years of experience working at Financial Institutions where she worked as a Project Manager. Her enthusiasm and organizational skills make her a great fit for this role. She has already had success in assisting our teachers with online teaching resources.

We appreciate our existing local business partners and we look forward to increasing the number of local businesses in this exciting journey. Please let us know if you are interested in participating and investing in Yuma’s students.
