any volcanos that are active now are too young to have been around during the supposed time frame of Atlantis

Not necessarily. Many volcanoes go through many periods of activity and then long periods of inactivity. Geologically speaking, 3 to 4 thousand years is not long at all. Mt. Etna in Sicily holds the historical record, with the first recorded eruption in about 1,500 BC, and the most recent on September 25, 2003. We don't know how long it was active before that.
