About this event
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to create safe, engaging, empowering opportunities for young people to share their voices and strengthen their leadership skills. In two dynamic, interactive virtual summits, the youth of our community will explore a wide range of crucial topics including communication skills, collaboration, community-building, strategic thinking and inclusion.
Youth will learn, discuss, and yes, even play as we delve into the critical qualities and principles of leadership development. We will explore how to bring passion and commitment together to create positive change in the home, in the community, and in the world.

The mission of Influence the Choice is promotion of mental, physical and social wellness for middle school through high school-aged youth in the greater Issaquah community. We accomplish this mission through networking community resources and facilitating strategic action planning aimed at changing community norms.

It is comprised of a minimum of twelve community sectors: parents, youth, schools, business owners, medical professionals, government, media, faith-based organizations, organizations serving youth, civic or volunteer organizations and law enforcement, all working together to build a drug-free community. Influence the Choice was a recipient of a Drug Free Community grant for 2013 - 2018.
