Every Student, Every Day: Empowering Students, Building Futures
Every Student, Every Day is an independent charitable organization that raises awareness and funds to support increased student attendance and success across Yukon and beyond.
Since its establishment in 2012, Every Student, Every Day has raised and distributed over $2,274,086, directly supporting more than 240 grassroots educational projects. These initiatives are designed to help students attend school regularly and succeed in both their learning and their lives. Supporting education remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our work has been made possible through the incredible generosity of all our sponsors, including Banyan Gold Corp and Air North, Yukon’s Airline, whose in-kind contributions and unwavering support have helped us grow and thrive. We are also grateful to the many private sector and community partners who have joined us over the years in making a difference for Yukon students.
Join us in making a difference—because when students succeed, we all succeed.
President’s message
“In 2012, representatives from Victoria Gold Corp. and the territorial government came together with a shared vision: to help increase student attendance rates in classrooms. From this collaboration, the Every Student, Every Day charitable fund was born, guided by the Victoria Gold Yukon Student Encouragement Society.
Now, more than a decade later, Every Student, Every Day continues to deliver positive, tangible results for students across the territory. While times have changed, and we’ve faced recent challenges, the need to support students has only grown. The transition to Every Student, Every Day as an independent charity marks an exciting new chapter, allowing us to expand our reach and impact.
We know that one of the most basic things a student can do—go to school every day—is also one of the most important. Regular school attendance is critical for improving grades, developing healthy habits, and building a foundation for success in life. By working together as a community, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
On behalf of our volunteer board and the Every Student, Every Day team, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our partners and supporters for their ongoing generosity. Your contributions make it possible for us to continue this vital work.
We look forward to another year of meaningful engagement and fundraising. Together, we can help ensure that every student has the resources and encouragement they need to attend school, succeed, and build a brighter future.”

President, Every Student, Every Day
“As my young daughter continues her school journey, a successful experience in the classroom for her—and for all students—resonates deeply with my family. Supporting increased student attendance through Every Student Every Day is a cause I will always champion.
By encouraging regular school attendance, we are helping Yukon students feel more connected to their community, develop important social skills and friendships, and increase their likelihood of graduating from high school. These are essential steps toward preparing them for a bright future, whether in further education, meaningful careers, or community leadership.
It’s inspiring to see how Every Student Every Day has grown, with the dedication of its volunteers and the generous support of its partners. I am proud to have been part of its founding and remain committed to this important initiative, which truly makes a difference for Yukon students.”
John McConnell
Founder, Every Student Every Day
“Student attendance is one of the most important factors contributing to student success – when students miss school, they miss important learning opportunities. Students who attend school regularly tend to get better grades and practice important work habits that can benefit them throughout their lives. We are proud to have partnered with Every Student, Every Day for the past 10+ years. We have seen that this initiative has a direct impact on regular attendance to help students advance their learning as well as develop healthy work habits and social skills.”
Minister of Education Jeanie McLean, Government of Yukon
