Enumclaw Youth Empowered
Provide Resources. Empower Youth. Educate Parents.
Who We Are
What We Do
Our Coalition is participating in the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI), a Washington State program to plan, develop, and implement community-wide strategies to reduce and prevent underage drug and alcohol use in Enumclaw.
Why We Do It
Enumclaw has an underage drug and alcohol consumption issue that in some cases is 50% higher than the state wide average. We want to engage the wider community, educate families, and empower our young people to make healthy choices.
Join the Coalition
We are Helping Students Make Healthy Life Choices
Members on our Coalition represent a variety of sectors across our community: businesses, mental health, non-profits, religious organizations, health & wellness, the school district, parents and more. There is a place for everyone!
Guiding Good Choices
Spring 2024 Workshop

GGC gives families information and tools that work to protect preteens and teens from the inevitable risks they encounter as they become more independent. Families will learn ways to build or maintain lasting relationships, and at the end of each session, participants learn how to hold a family meeting to share lessons learned or plan some fun family time. This regular time together builds bonds, promotes health, and helps GGC skills become a part of family life.
Some of the Topics We Address
Alcohol and drug abuse are tough subjects. Let’s talk about them.
Talking about drugs, alcohol, and mental health can be uncomfortable for everyone involved. We address these subjects with real stories, useful information, and practical resources to set everyone up for success.
Cannabis Misuse
Let’s talk about marijuana legalization, and how it changes our perception of the drug.
Tobacco Misuse
Let’s discuss habits and how our peers and lifestyle motivators can influence them.
Alcohol Misuse
Let’s prove, once and for all, that you don’t need alcohol to have a great time.
Mental Health
Let’s give young people the tools they need to make decisions they can be proud of.
Suicide Prevention
Let’s eliminate the stigma of mental health issues and work together to stop bullying.
