Grow Your Own Grant Initiative | Educator Advancement Council Grow Your Own Educator Partnerships Initiative About the Grow Your Own Initiative Since 2020, Oregon has invested in Grow Your Own (GYO) programs, sparking new career pathway partnerships and expansion of long-standing programs for aspiring educators in Oregon.
This investment has supported thousands of individual candidates and fostered stronger collaboration between K-12 schools and postsecondary programs to strengthen educator recruitment and retention statewide. GYO grantees support current and aspiring educators across Oregon with financial assistance for postsecondary education, mentorship, career training, and pathway navigation support.
In 2025, the GYO grant program was not recommended to continue, though HB 5006 Section 203 authorized one-time funds for currently enrolled candidates to complete their programs. As a result, ODE and grantees are preparing for the sunset of the grant program in 2027.
This grant cycle aims to maximize the impact of the state’s investments—both past and present—to ensure lasting improvements in educator career pathways, partnerships, and retention. Click here to view or download the 2026 GYO informational flyer. What is a Grow Your Own Program?
A local approach to developing the educator workforce by recruiting and supporting people from the community —such as paraprofessionals, school staff, high school students, or other local residents—to become licensed or advance in education careers.
These programs help schools fill staffing needs, strengthen retention, and build a diverse, stable educator pipeline by offering supports like mentoring, tuition assistance, and flexible training pathways.
Oregon’s GYO Programs Address Educator Recruitment & Retention GYO programs strengthen Oregon’s educator workforce by supporting critical pathways for individuals to become highly skilled educators, expanding student learning opportunities, and promoting equity across districts.
GYO Programs Provide Access to College Pathways for Oregon’s Aspiring Educators GYOs help Oregon school support staff and community members who are interested in becoming educators but face barriers to preparation programs—such as geographic isolation, high tuition costs, full‑time work schedules, and limited flexible coursework options.
GYOs Ensure Rural Districts Can Address Shortages of Qualified, Licensed Teachers & Administrators GYOs support rural school districts across Oregon facing chronic shortages of licensed teachers and administrators, especially in high‑need areas like Special Education, bilingual education, and school leadership.
GYOs Support Educators Who Reflect the Backgrounds & Experiences of Oregon’s Students Research shows that students benefit when they have educators who share their backgrounds and experiences.
While Oregon has made some progress, the student population remains more racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse than the teachers who serve them - over 42% of students and just 14% of teachers come from racially or ethnically diverse backgrounds.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public.
