Through mentorship programs, workshops, and community projects, young individuals are encouraged to express their thoughts, advocate for social change, and take on leadership roles. By fostering a sense of agency and responsibility, Teen Empowerment enables youth to shape a better future for themselves and those around them. This project represents more than just a newly constructed building; it symbolizes a fresh opportunity to connect with a larger number of young individuals and offer an expanded array of resources for the community. What a terrific milestone to be a part of and to celebrate! We are so proud to have collaborated with SWBR on this project.

Congratulations to all the graduates of our Visions for the Future Reentry Program! Wishing you all much success!!!

We finished our summer Youth Organizing session in Boston and Somerville on Friday with a celebration! Both chapters shared all they accomplished over the last 7 weeks, youth performed, and we had some great food. The highlight was a panel of TE alumni sharing their work and life experiences since leaving TE and dropping a lot of knowledge (and some connects). Many thanks to Gerly Adrien, MBA, Diego Medina, and Anthony Soto for sharing their knowledge and experiences with the current TE youth! Special thanks to Gerly's Ice Cream for the treats!

Many thanks to Park Square Executive Search for hosting a stellar resume writing workshop this morning for TE Boston and Somerville youth! We're so lucky to have great partners like Park Square in our community.

Rochester folks, if you don't know about the work of Teen Empowerment yet, you will!
