Hi John,
I want to share something with you: This year, young people in Washington proved that when we organize, we win.
Because of supporters like you, Washington Youth Alliance helped secure $18 million this year for school-based mental health centers — building on the largest investment in youth mental health in state history. We brought 100+ young people to Olympia for Youth Lobby Day, including 50+ from rural communities who had never spoken to a legislator before. And our youth leaders helped pass landmark gun safety legislation that will save lives.
These aren't just numbers. They're proof that young people are leading right now — not waiting for permission.
Before midnight on December 31, we're asking our community to help us raise $5,000 to carry this momentum into 2026.
Your tax-deductible gift today will help us:
- Expand from 10 chapters to 15, reaching more rural communities
- Host our largest Youth Lobby Day yet with 300+ young advocates
- Train the next generation of nonprofit leaders, community organizers, and candidates
- Defend the youth mental health funding we fought so hard to win
At Washington Youth Alliance, youth don't just have a seat at the table — we build the table. Your gift makes that possible.
With gratitude,
Chetan Soni Executive Director, Washington Youth Alliance
P.S. Every dollar you give before December 31 is tax-deductible for 2025. Will you help us reach our $5,000 goal? $40M for mental health. 200+ youth at the Capitol. And we're just getting started.
