What is The Edge Effect
The Edge Effect is a nonprofit organization that provides assistance, prevention and intervention programs that address the needs of children, older youth and families in Snohomish and King Counties.
"We exist to provide trainings, environments, experiences, and resources that lead people especially youth in forming active outdoor lifestyles that promote teamwork, wellness, community, life skills, and ethics, to catalyst stronger healthier communities
for tomorrow"
Our three project components:
-
The Northwest Mentoring and Education Center project called Smart Turn

-
The Community Outreach Centers (CO2) Project.
These were formed in a synergistic relationship to provide outreach, crisis intervention, alcohol/drug assessment, risk assessments, short-term counseling for teens and families, community resource education and referral, outdoor education/recreation programs and life skills and mentoring components.
