Can I participate in the Youth Bill of Rights Project?
If you live in King County and you are a young person 24 years of age or younger, you can participate.
Why should you care about the King County Youth Bill of Rights (YBOR)?
The YBOR affects you (as a youth resident in King County)! By making your voice heard, leaders keep you and your community’s needs in mind when decisions are made. In 2015 youth requested the YBOR as an opportunity for center youth voice in King County plans and policies.

What are we doing with the YBOR survey information and data?
King County staff in partnership with the Youth Bill of Rights Taskforce will use the information and data gathered to identify common themes from the youth who responded. The survey themes will be the foundation of the YBOR and guide the task force as the document is written.
During Phase I (and Phase II) of the King County Youth Bill of Rights Project, all eligible participants who provided us with their email address, were entered into a drawing to win one of ten $100.00 VISA e-gift cards. The drawing, which was scheduled to take place in December 2022, actually took place in April 2023. Why? Well, we had such amazing response during the first phase that it took us months to put together all the data and make sure we had everyone's emails. We drew 10 names and so far five prizes have been collected. If we don't hear back from the other winners soon, we we redraw five more. Congratulations to our first round of winners!!

Meet Bill! Bill is an old-timer for Schoolhouse Rock (see the below YouTube Video). The King County Youth Bill of Rights may only be headed to our local county lawmakers and not to the nation's capital, the process is basically the same. See if your parents remember "Bill".
