The Four Rivers Early Learning Hub’s strategic plan has been approved by its governance board, and will soon go to the state for review and approval. The Hub is made up of Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, and Wheeler counties to coordinate services for ages zero to six under a reorganization of early learning in the state that was spearheaded by former Governor John Kitzhaber. Joella Dethman of the Hood River County Prevention Coalition says the goal is to make sure everyone works together to help families. Establishment of the hub, which has been in the works for about two years, replaces the former County Commissions on Children and Families.
