Meet Teens for Tomorrow

Meet Teens for Tomorrow (TFT)

Our members are diverse and come from many different backgrounds. We all joined TFT for different reasons: some of us have had family members with substance use, some of us struggled ourselves with substance use and don't want our peers to have to learn the hard way, some of us have seen the issue of substance use in our communities' youth, some of us are worried about what we are seeing with vaping trends, some of us are worried about what we see on social media and are passionate about working towards prevention.

We work together to discuss and create projects that seek to reduce substance use in Clark County. We have TFT Peer Educators from every school district in Clark County. If you would like to find out who serves on TFT in your school district, you can reach out to our coordinator Alaina Green at Alaina.Green@clark.wa.gov

Aananth
Hi, my name is Aananth and this is my second year at Teens for Tomorrow. I am a part of Teens for Tomorrow because I support their mission and like the TFT community. My coping mechanism would be practicing soccer. It might just be because I am a soccer player but there is just something soothing about when you are by yourself, playing soccer with some music in your ear. Besides loving soccer, going outside, working out, and watching Netflix on Fridays.

Lizbet
​Hi there! I'm Lizbet. Teens for Tomorrow is an impactful community to be a part of because it provides a space for youth to leverage their unique perspectives and experiences in order to promote awareness and engagement. This leads to more equitable and effective policies and initiatives that benefit our youth and our communities. With Teens for Tomorrow, I am able to channel my passion for learning, education, and creating a equitable future into tangible action. As Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: “We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.”

I been in TFT for 4 years, I am an INTJ-T and a Virgo. I grew up with anime, music, manga, etc. I really enjoy voice acting as a hobby, I find it very interesting and very enjoyable.
