Thank you to the dedicated volunteer committee and supporters who have made 35 years of Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Thurston County what it is today! After several years of fiscal sponsor partnership with EYH's volunteer committee, TOGETHER! answered the call to step forward and steward EHY forward into the next 35 years. We are overjoyed to offer EHY as an a program of TOGETEHR! because of its alignment with our core values of equity, community, and systems change. Together we can advance representation and educational justice and ensure that young people are supported, healthy, safe and valued.
Big Thank You to Past Sponsors & Supporters
