English Express, a DreamMakers project of The Ink People in Eureka (CA), opens the door to our non-English speaking neighbors by providing free language classes, field trips and connections to people and local resources in Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity Counties (CA) and Curry County (OR).
We're raising $5,000 to support the program started in 2016.
The operating budget needed to maintain and grow the program in 2021 is $80,000. Grants and contributions have raised $30,000. You can help us fill the gap!
Will you join the friends of English Express and keep the program rolling?
In the first half of 2021, during the pandemic, the program started and led by Mary Ann Hytken provided 30 students with 80 online classes, tutorials and individual consultations. Grants and donations were used to get laptops for remote classes and to make the program free for participants, most from low-income households.
Everyone deserves a chance.
English Express builds confidence and connections and fosters self-sufficiency for our students.
Read about the program featured in June 1 edition of the Eureka Times-Standard.
Once part of the local community college, English Express operates as an independent community project under the financial umbrella of The Ink People. The Ink People has been changing people's lives since 1979 by connecting the community to the arts and resources for cultural development.

Started in 1979, the Ink People changes lives by connecting the community with resources for cultural development. We encourage people to exercise their humanity, build civic discourse, and engage their creative potential. We are actively weaving the arts into the fabric of community. The Ink People is a community-based, grassroots, artist-run, arts and culture organization. We are organized on community access principles and the belief that art, in all its forms, is essential to the human spirit and well-being. We base our activities in a philosophy of sharing and community building. We know that young people are the future and are incredibly challenged by today’s world, so we try to give them tools to build successful and fulfilling lives.
