OUR IMPACT
“Teen Empowerment has succeeded in developing and maintaining an approach to engaging at-risk youth and reducing youth violence that can serve as a model for other communities. Its systematic approach to selection, engagement, and transformation provide a foundation for individual and community change.”
— Dr. Russell Schutt, Sociologist & Professor, University of Massachusetts, Boston
Teen Empowerment engages young leaders to develop and use their voices to tackle critical social issues and create a positive impact. Through innovative programs and initiatives, Teen Empowerment addresses social challenges such as crime, violence, and strained community relationships between youth and adults.
By providing platforms for expression, fostering dialogue, and advocating for policy changes, Teen Empowerment empowers youth to develop skills and positive behavior while building safer, more inclusive communities.
THE RIPPLE EFFECT
Empowering Youth starts a ripple of change that spreads hope and leads to more just and peaceful communities.
