Empower Youth Network (EYN) promotes and inspires youth to lead safe, healthy, and successful lives. Centered in the Snoqualmie Valley, all of our programs provide crucial connections for our youth.

Our Core Programs:

Youth Suicide Prevention
We provide youth with key skills to help themselves or peers. How to Help a Friend training supports middle & high school students, and #BeKindSV supports our elementary students.

Youth Success! Mentoring (YSM)
Our mentoring program pairs caring adults with children elementary age through high school to give a child confidence, inspire positive choices, and build hope for a better future.

Youth Substance Use Prevention
EYN supports student-driven substance use prevention campaigns at Cedarcrest High School in Duvall and Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie.

Youth Engagement
EYN works with youth of all ages to encourage them to be leaders, serve on committees and youth councils, and through programs like YSM, peer training through How to Help a Friend, Pathways to Employment Success, and so much more.

Weekend Power Packs (WPP)
Our Power Pack program provides supplemental food to youth in the Riverview School District who face food scarcity over the weekends.

Pathways to Employment Success
This program provides youth with opportunities to explore future career options, as well as practice the crucial skills needed to seek employment.
