In January of 2013 thirty young people ages 16-24 from across Seattle and South King County came together to form the King County Youth Advisory Council and begin advising and informing county-wide strategies, funding and practices. Their stories of survival, being pushed out of schools and systems, and being unemployed or underemployed, are putting a new face to the alarming statistics about the current state of youth (dis)engagement in King County. Come learn how the KCYAC is shaking things up and planning to break the cycle. They will share their personal and collective experiences, the story of their first project together, and their future plans.
