Thanks to the community donations from its breakfast last year, the agency increased its mental health and substance abuse counseling services in the Snoqualmie Valley School District.

Counseling services are an important support for students struggling with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.  Providing services at school ensures that students receive the timely, professional, and caring counseling they need to thrive.

Friends of Youth is partnering with the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network and Snoqualmie Valley School District to supports students during the school day.
