Ballinger Action Teens (BAT), a program of the Center for Human Services, is a youth leadership group in Shoreline, Washington. BAT was developed during the 2007-2008 academic year, with 5-6 youth and now in the fall of 2009, 23 youth are active participants in BAT. Ballinger Action Teens defined their purpose in 2007 as "Help the community around us, while having fun, in order to learn more about the world and therefore help ourselves." The group meets diligently throughout the year, over dinner, talking about issues in their world, which concern them. These discussions then lead to field trips and service learning projects where they put their thoughts into action. Some areas of focus over the past three years have included environmental issues, homelessness and racism. BAT has also been active in educating their community about the experience of immigrant/refugee youth by speaking on panels for the Shoreline School District and University of Washington.
