The Highlands Youth Advisory Board is actively engaging teens in the Issaquah Highlands area through its series of workshops designed to help participants discover their strengths. These monthly meetings are structured to facilitate both individual growth and collaborative discussions, allowing youth to explore their interests in a supportive environment. By focusing on personal development, the board aims to enhance self-awareness and confidence among young attendees, which can have lasting benefits in their academic and social lives.
