“These youth have given back to their community over 150 hours of community service in the past year. They see the value of service and I know will continue to give in the future,” said Ken Wong, teen programs administrator for the City of Redmond.

Ehni will be attending American University; Minsk will be going Dartmouth College and French and Anderle will be attending the University of Washington.
