About the Spring Youth Forum
The Spring Youth Forum is Washington State’s premier celebration of youth-led prevention work. Funded and provided by the Washington State Health Care Authority, the Forum recognizes and rewards youth prevention teams who have turned knowledge into action – designing and implementing real life prevention projects that make a difference in their communities.
The Spring Youth Forum serves as the follow-up conference to the Washington State Prevention Summit held each fall. Together, these two events form a powerful cycle: the Prevention Summit equips youth with prevention education and planning skills, and the Spring Youth Forum brings teams back together to showcase what they’ve built. Youth teams present their successes, share lessons learned, and inspire one another – creating a statewide community of young changemakers.
By working in tandem, the Prevention Summit and Spring Youth Forum generate lasting momentum and ensure that youth-led prevention efforts across Washington are encouraged, supported, and celebrated.
✨ The full conference schedule will be available soon. Stay tuned for updates and additional details at springyouthforum.org.
