Emma Vlcek- Miss Canyon County’s Teen
At Gr8ter, we love shining a light on young leaders who are using their voices to create change — and Emma Vlcek is one of those incredible changemakers. Emma, Miss Canyon County’s Teen and a competitor for Miss Idaho Teen, has made it her mission to support teens in making healthy choices, opening up conversations around mental health, and reducing the stigma that surrounds both addiction and mental illness.

Emma’s Platform: Doses of Truth

Emma’s community initiative, “Doses of Truth: Drug Awareness and Prevention,” was inspired by the memory of her uncle, who struggled with addiction. Through this platform, she:

  • Educates teens about the risks of substance use
  • Offers practical tools to help make healthy choices
  • Brings attention to the powerful connection between drug use and mental health
  • Partners with community groups to start honest conversations

Her work is rooted in compassion, prevention, and hope — ensuring teens know they are never alone.

Emma’s Role at Top of Tamarack

Emma joined us at Top of Tamarack 2025, where she performed at The Wig and Stash Bash the night before the race and volunteered at packet pickup. She brought warmth, energy, and connection to every interaction — embodying the spirit of what ToT is all about.

Her presence as a young mental health advocate reminded us that the next generation has the power to keep the conversation going and make real change.
