TAKE ACTION

As teenagers we totally understand feeling like you aren't able to do anything to help hospital and essential workers, and other people affected by the Coronavirus. That is why we are starting our teen led action programs, which work to help multiple communities affected by the pandemic. These give teenagers a voice, and a sense of purpose during these troubling times. These are all teen led projects, where teenagers are able to become ambassadors for the different projects at their schools. They will lead their peers in these projects that directly impact struggling and vulnerable communities. Read about our teen ambassadors and more about our four main projects below.
