Enumclaw Youth Empowered

Provide Resources. Empower Youth. Educate Parents.

Who We Are

Enumclaw Youth Empowered is a community-led coalition working to support the health, well-being, and success of local youth. We bring together schools, families, organizations, and leaders to build a safe, supportive environment where young people can thrive.

What We Do

We prevent youth substance use and promote mental wellness through education, outreach, youth-led programs, and community partnerships. Our work includes school-based clubs, family resources, public awareness campaigns, and opportunities for student leadership and service.

Why We Do It

Enumclaw faces an underage drug and alcohol use rate that is, in some areas, 50% higher than the statewide average. We do this work to change that reality—by engaging the community, educating families, and empowering youth to make healthy, informed choices. Every young person deserves the chance to grow up safe, supported, and substance-free.

Join the Coalition

Help Us Prevent Today, So Youth Can Thrive Tomorrow.

Our coalition brings together voices from every corner of the community — including local businesses, mental health professionals, nonprofits, faith leaders, wellness experts, educators, parents, and more. Whatever your background, there’s a place for you at the table.

Tobacco & Vaping

We explore peer influence, marketing tactics, and ways to resist harmful nicotine habits.

Alcohol Use

We empower teens to choose fun and confidence without relying on alcohol.

Mental Health

We equip youth with tools to support emotional wellness and make proud, healthy decisions.
