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.
