Application Form
Applications for the 2024-2025 school year are now closed.
Check back here in April 2025 to apply for our 2025-2026 term!
We are a group of youth (ages 12 - 18) in Clark County, WA who want to be a part of the solution for preventing addiction and improving mental health in our generation and in our community. We think every youth voice is important, and we want to be an inclusive, nonjudgmental, and safe space for people our age to talk about experiences, share information/resources, and figure out together what we want our future to look like and how we can make it happen.
Who should apply: If you are 12 to 18, live in Clark County (WA), and want to teach other teens healthy ways to cope with stress, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY APPLY!!! No volunteer experience, prevention knowledge, or leadership experience is required to apply. One of the best parts of TFT is that this is the perfect place to learn new skills without having to worry about what everyone thinks because we get what it's like. We value having people with diverse backgrounds and experiences join our group because we are able to learn from each other's experiences and become stronger peer educators. TFT needs member representation 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!
What would be expected of you: All TFT members must commit to serving at least a one-year term (September to June), although many of us love it so much that we commit to serving more. We meet on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm and it's really important to us that you're able to attend these general meetings. We also meet in smaller groups so we can successfully carry out the projects we design. In all, it's pretty normal we each volunteer 4-8 hours each month. If accepted, you will have to attend our annual TFT Fall Training, which is mandatory and will be Saturday, September 7 from 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday, September 8 from 9 am to 6 pm, and will take place in person unless local and state public health officials deem otherwise. Lastly, because of the work we do, it is important you are committed to being drug- and alcohol-free as a TFT member.
Contact us with any questions about how to apply.
