About Us

Empower Youth Network is a non-profit organization working alongside students, families, schools, and community organizations across the Snoqualmie Valley in Washington state to create lasting impact. From preventing youth suicide and substance use to providing mentoring, career exploration, family resource coordination, community education, and addressing food insecurity, our work is driven by trust, collaboration, and a deep commitment to the well-being of every young person in our community.

Since 1994, the volunteer EYN Board and the Healthy Community Coalition partners have assessed needs, built capacity, facilitated planning, implemented strategies, and monitored outcomes addressing a variety of challenges including youth substance abuse, youth suicide, and violence prevention.

The Network facilitates meaningful community dialogue by hosting several important annual events and initiatives including the Key Leaders Summit, the Be the Change youth leadership conference, the Rise & Shine Awards to recognize outstanding volunteers, and the Build Better Futures for Youth Scholarship program that recognizes youth who have focused time and energy in creating a caring community. In addition, the Network provides coordination support for the Healthy Community Coalition, Network board, Youth Councils and parent education initiatives throughout the Snoqualmie Valley.
