Youth Vision Ambassadors

Youth Vision Ambassadors (YVA) are high school students (grades 10–12) who represent their region of Idaho as part of Idaho Drug Free Youth.

YVA members work alongside iDFY staff to shape programs, set goals, and offer input that reflects the real experiences and needs of teens across the state.

It’s a chance to grow as a leader, make your voice heard, and represent youth at the state level.
