VANCOUVER – The Clark County Teens For Tomorrow, peer education program is recruiting youth to fill vacant positions for the 2026-2027 program year.

Members serve a one-year term but can recommit to serve multiple terms. Teens For Tomorrow requires 4-8 hours of work each month.

What is Teens for Tomorrow (TFT)?

  • TFT strives to create a safe space for youth to talk about drug and alcohol prevention, share accurate information and resources, promote mental health, and elevate youth leadership.
  • A year with TFT looks like planning and leading youth trainings, sharing ideas with lawmakers, creating vape quit kits, developing community-wide prevention campaigns, designing an art show, and more.
  • TFT is an excellent opportunity for teens interested in gaining volunteer experience, discovering their strengths and leadership style, learning and practicing presentation skills, building their resume and making friends with youth from other schools while doing important work.
  • We are funded by Clark County Community Services, which supports youth leaders who want to be a part of the solution for preventing addiction and improving mental health among youth in our community.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Applicants must:

  • Live in Clark County
  • Be 12-18 years old next school year
  • Be passionate about youth drug/alcohol prevention and mental health

We welcome applications from youth who have had past use/experimentation but are no longer using, youth who are in recovery, and youth who have never used substances. All of these voices are needed in prevention work!

Interested youths must submit an application, and finalists must participate in an interview. Applications and submittal directions are online at https://teensfortomorrow.clark.wa.gov/apply.html

Application deadline is 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
