Thurston Youth WIN! The Thurston Youth WIN! (Work Involvement Now!) Program was initiated by the Stormwater Utility in 2012 to help pair up youth groups looking for service projects with activities that would benefit our local communities and water resources.
All of us—our neighborhoods, farms, businesses, fish and wild animals—depend on clean streams, lakes, and drinking water sources.
The Stormwater Utility firmly believes that youth participation in Thurston Youth WIN! service projects is beneficial to the residents of unincorporated Thurston County and to the participants involved. Youth groups have the opportunity to earn a stipend upon completion of approved stormwater-related community projects.
Before submitting your group's application, carefully read the specific criteria for your group to qualify and consider if your group will be able to meet the project commitments outlined in the application packet.
