Youth Leadership Opportunities

  • Youth Action Team

    October - June

    The Youth Action Team brings young people together to explore barriers to play. Members gather input from their communities and turn what they learn into recommendations. Their ideas help guide the coalition’s work.

  • Youth Equity Council

    November - April

    In partnership with the Seattle Mariners, the Youth Equity Council takes young people through the full grant process, from start to finish. Members help develop the grant, review applications, and select recipients. Through this work, they support two organizations in King County.

  • Youth Advocacy & Outreach Opportunities

    We’re developing a youth advocacy program for young people who want to speak up about access to play. Advocates will help bring youth perspectives into community conversations. Interested? Submit the interest form to hear about opportunities as the program takes shape.
