Board Of Directors
Youth Dynamics is governed by a board of Directors. We are so blessed to have individuals whose hearts are to see Northwest youth brought to a personal relationship with Christ. Below is a list of board members and their occupation.
-
Chair - Penny Sundblad
Penny is a Management Specialist with the U. S. Forest Service and lives in Sedro Woolley, Washington. She was introduced to Youth Dynamics in 2006 through associations with several YD board members. She invests her time with Youth Dynamics because, "Today’s young people are often starved for quality relationships and a focus in life that’s really worth pursuing. YD is the best ministry I’ve seen at meeting these critical needs through relationship building, introducing God in relevant ways, and providing fertile ground for long-term spiritual growth."

Board Member - Dan Currier
Dan and his wife live in Coupeville, WA on Whidbey Island, where they own and operate Garden Isle Guest Cottages and Vacation home and Garden Isle Montessori School. They became involved with YD in 1989 when their children were teenagers and helped bring YD to Coupeville. Dan has served on the Board since that time. Dan serves with Youth Dynamics because, "Our society is filled with lost young people and I feel it is vitally important to reach them for Christ. What I value most about YD is that they send out Godly men and women into small rural towns to reach these young people for Christ and to provide a place where they can go to hear the gospel. I am involved with YD because of this mission."

Board Member - Katie Jungquist
Katie is the treasurer for Skagit County and lives in Mount Vernon, Washington. She first became involved with Youth Dynamics when her high school daughter began attending a local outreach with a friend in the late 90’s. She has been serving on YD’s Board since 2005. She values YD’s work with teens because, “Our youth are such a vital part of our community. We need to invest our lives with teens to show and teach them how to have a relationship with God in all we do.”

Board Member - Dave Needy
Dave is the Superior Court Judge for Skagit County. He lives in Mount Vernon, Washington. He joined YD’s Board in 1989. He has continued to invest in Youth Dynamics for so many years because he believes in YD’s work with teens: “In a world with so many negative influences and destructive results for young people, I’m very pleased to be part of a ministry that provides great role models and eternally lasting positive outcomes.”

I am excited to have the opportunity to use the gifts that God gave me to reach youth for Christ."
