About Us

The Empowered Teens Coalition was first founded in 2013, with the creation of the Chimacum Empowered Teens Coalition. Port Townsend's ETC was founded in 2018 and Quilcene/Brinnon ETC in 2021. 

Each Coalition is led by members of community organizations, parents, and youth. 

Each member:

• Lends their diverse perspective and helps to guide the coalition's actions

• Attends coalition meetings and helps support coalition events and trainings

• Actively participates in prevention activities and strategies

• Helps the coalition monitor the community with methods like the Healthy Youth Survey
