Fall Update From TFT Headquarters

Greetings TFT Family! If you are joining us for another year, welcome back! If you are new to the fold, welcome – we are grateful you’re here. We have hit the ground running in preparation for our upcoming Winter programs and Summer 2027 and are ready to help you be prepared as well!

You can expect a monthly update shared during the first full week of the month from January until June 2027.

The goal of our monthly updates is to present to you key information relevant to the time of the year and a centralized place for general information that will help you and your teen prepare for their program.

Our Parent Portal

MyTFT

MyTFT, also known as the parent portal, will be your one-stop shop for all trip-related tasks and information. In it, you can currently find your traveler’s invoice. The paperwork will soon be available within the parents portal. In the spring, you will be able to find the itinerary, transportation details, add-on information (if applicable), and much more! If you have multiple travelers, you can find them all in your account.

We’ll continue to update you as more items are available!

Paperwork

The paperwork consists of a contract packet and other tasks that need to be completed within the MyTFT portal. As of now, the tasks are not active in the accounts! We will inform families when the paperwork is available.

Paperwork items will consist of:

Contract
Health History and Meds Disclosure form (completed by guardians)
Physical Exam Form (completed by physician)
Recent Photo
Passport (if applicable)
