Youth Engagement Workgroup (YEW), in partnership with the Student Assistance Professional at Olympic Educational Service District 114, is focused on youth and student engagement.

We acknowledge the success of our efforts relies on our ability to be culturally responsive to the perspectives of young people in our community. “Generation Z” is the most diverse generation in American history, known for celebrating untraditional views on identity. This generation’s use of tech devices, apps, and social media platforms has also become ubiquitous with life.

Our tools include listening sessions, social media outreach, and video production.
