Knowledge to drive change

Community features on this website include interactive maps, resources for programs, news and stories, and the Washington’s most comprehensive directory of youth programs.
Elevate Washington is an initiative of School’s Out Washington.
For three decades, School’s Out Washington has been working towards a Washington where all young people have opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential, regardless of race or income.
We support youth-serving professionals and programs, helping them provide high-quality services that give youth opportunities they deserve to succeed.
