Welcome to the NextGen Leaders of Benton and Franklin Counties, operated by LCSNW Tri-Cities. Our mission is to empower youth voices, foster community support, and develop youth-led initiatives to create a safer and healthier community for teenagers and young adults living in southeast Washington state.
We want to hear from the youth and young adults in our communities. Are you between the ages of 16-21 and living in Benton or Franklin County? We want to hear from you! Join us in creating a platform where your voice can shape the future of our community. Empower yourself and others by participating in our initiatives and sharing your voice around topics such as mental and behavioral health services, along with community resource availability. Your ideas and experiences are crucial to shaping the future of services for teenagers and young adults who live where you live.
NextGen Leaders meets on the 4th Tuesday of every Month from 5:00-6:30 PM at the Richland Public Library, Conference Room A (955 Northgate Dr, Richland, WA 99352). These meetings are free to attend, and we ask you to RSVP using the form below.
Join us in fostering an inclusive community where every youth has the opportunity to succeed! Learn more about opportunities to partner with LCSNW or get involved by contacting Andrea Peyton, Program Director, at 509-735-6446 or [email protected].
