Vancouver, Wash. – The Clark County STASHA, Strong Teens Against Substance Hazards and Abuse, Peer Education Program is recruiting youth to fill vacant positions for the 2018-2019 program year.

STASHA peer educators advocate for healthy lifestyles and are dedicated to addressing alcohol and other drug issues among youth in Clark County. The young volunteers in this group strive to represent the diverse populations and variety of neighborhoods in the county.

Peer educators range in age from 12 to 19. They include youth who have never used drugs or alcohol, those with past experimentation or use, and those who have completed treatment and are now in recovery. Members serve a one-year term with the opportunity to stay on the program until age 19.

To be eligible, youth must be Clark County residents and have an interest in sharing their opinions and perspectives about substance abuse prevention. Training is provided.

Interested youth must submit an application. Finalists will be interviewed. Applications and directions are online at www.clark.wa.gov/community-services/stasha-peer-education-program.

Application deadline is Friday, June 15.
