Youth Health Ambassador Program: Living in Future Tense (LiFT)

July 15, 2025 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Living in Future Tense (LiFT) is a free summer program sponsored by Together for Resilient Youth. This engaging initiative empowers youth ages 10–17 to become Health Ambassadors through education, research, and skill-building focused on public health, self-esteem, teamwork, and peer pressure.

Participants will attend four interactive sessions in July where they will explore pressing youth issues including bullying, violence, vaping, and stress reduction. Each day features activities designed to promote leadership, mental wellness, and healthy decision-making. Sessions run from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM on:

  • July 15, 2025: Bullying and Violence

  • July 16, 2025: Vaping

  • July 17, 2025: Stress Reduction

  • July 19, 2025: Final Presentations & Brunch at the Millennium Hotel

Youth who complete the summer sessions will be eligible to serve as Health Ambassadors throughout the school year and can earn stipends of up to $100 per quarter, with an additional $75 available to parents.

This program prioritizes health, safety, and equity, and provides youth the opportunity to meet medical professionals, develop personal health plans, and engage in national prevention campaigns.
