Advancing Leadership

The Federal Way Chamber of Commerce established the Advancing Leadership program in 1998, in cooperation with various community-minded businesses and organizations. Their mission was to develop a program designed to provide emerging community leaders with the skills, knowledge and connections to make a positive difference in Federal Way.

Communities In Schools

Communities In Schools (CIS) of Federal Way was originally established in 1994 as the Education Foundation - a non-profit, education program of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce. In 2005 the Foundation partnered with Communities In Schools to create an even stronger organization in our community to help children succeed in school. Over this period we have reached thousands of children and families through partnering with the Federal Way School District, the business community of Federal Way and local concerned community members. It is our belief that healthy, thriving communities have a responsibility to educate their citizens.
