Kindergarten to Grade 12 Students

Education Support Coordinators

KDFN’s Education Support Coordinators (formerly called Community Education Liaison Coordinators or CELCs) are specialized education workers who help students, parents/guardians and school staff to achieve student success.

The Education Support Coordinators (ESCs) incorporate culture into students’ learning and keep students engaged outside the classroom through cultural activities, promoting special opportunities, providing information on the Yukon First Nations Graduation Ceremony, and organizing Elder visits to schools.

The ESCs s also help preschool families transition children to kindergarten, grade 7 students transition into high school and offer advice to graduating students.
