Cultural Heritage Education

"The projects we fund give students thought-provoking, hands-on learning experiences that often celebrate the history of the neighborhood they live in."
- Pat Filer, Heritage Cultural Education Coordinator

Heritage Education Funding Program
Heritage 4Culture provides technical assistance and funding to heritage organizations and their education partners that encourage the development of high-quality curricula promoting the discovery of King County history and heritage by elementary, middle, and high school students.

Heritage Education Papers Series
Heritage Education Papers offer detailed technical assistance to organizations, agencies and individual heritage specialists who are interested in developing applications and curricula. All papers are available for download in the Resources section.

Heritage Curriculum Library
Heritage 4Culture maintains a hard-copy collection of more than 60 curriculum project reports and resource guides that include applications, lesson plans, texts, workbooks, student work products, budgets, evaluations, final documentation items, publicity and other supporting materials.
