Youth Engagement

We understand that in an increasingly digital and fast-paced world, creating fun experiences and fostering a sense of belonging for youth across Snoqualmie Valley is more important now than ever. The Youth Engagement program seeks to do exactly that.

More About Youth Engagement

Through our free monthly activities like ceramics, bowling, ice skating, pizza making, and so much more we help provide essential aspects of Youth Development. When kids attend these events, the importance of having a good time they can look forward to is clear. They develop and explore their interests. They learn independence in a safe setting. They figure out how to work as a team, problem-solve, and embrace new experiences. They can unlock their creativity. They get more familiar with emotional regulation. They make friends and build up existing connections. They create memories. They are encouraged to be silly, confident, and experience FUN and JOY.
