Press Releases

The Mexican American Concilio of Yolo County gives out 55 scholarships to local students within the high schools of Yolo County. The Concilio also provide 25-30 adult grants to non-profit organizations that help the neediest in Yolo County.

Concilio also supports the migrant Summer Soccer League. These migrant centers are located in Davis, Winters, Madison, Dixon, and a Woodland team who live in federal housing. This league culminates with a final tournament that was recently held at Playfields Park in Davis on August 28, 2011. These five migrant teams who regularly play their games at their own migrant center locations, were given the opportunity to play this recent tournament in one of the best soccer fields in Northern California. Truly this has been a blessing to these young soccer players, all thanks to the efforts and support of the Mexican American Concilio of Yolo County as well as the Yolo Housing Authority and the Yolo Inter-Faith Immigration Network (YIIN).
