YURI Education Project is dedicated to creating educational resources and experiences for cultural institutions, teachers, and PK-12 students. With a focus on Asian American histories and stories, we believe in the power of coalition building to foster understanding among diverse communities. By expanding the historical narrative, we aim to bridge gaps rather than create division.

Our pedagogies deepen comprehension of society, cultivate empathy, and encourage learners to draw connections between history and the present. Our team, consisting of co-directors Cathlin Goulding and Freda Lin, are former classroom teachers who have a shared mission to bring Asian American stories and histories into PK-12 education. We named our project after Yuri Kochiyama, a symbol of compassion and justice who built bridges between communities.

Through our bespoke curriculum and professional learning, we create engaging and culturally responsive learning environments for all students. Explore our previous work with cultural institutions, schools, and learners to see the impact we've made
