FELIDA – Ashlye Triebs, a senior at Columbia River High School, has been selected as one of two students from Washington to participate in the U.S. Senate Youth Program.

Triebs is passionate about boosting civic engagement and voter registration, especially among young people. She has helped register more than 150 new voters.

On Dec. 16, the Association of Washington Student Leaders and Association of Washington School Principals visited Columbia River High School to surprise Triebs and celebrate her achievement with a plaque.

In March, she’ll travel to Washington, D.C. for a week, where she’ll meet U.S. senators and government leaders, connect with the program cohort, and learn more about how government works. She’ll also receive a scholarship to use toward the college or university of her choice.
