Teens Take Charge

a youth-led organization that empowers New York City public school students with the tools to amplify their voices in order to re-imagine an equitable, anti-racist future for themselves and their communities.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Teens Take Charge participants will meet every Monday (excluding holidays) from 4PM to 6PM in the Teach for America offices located at 25 Broadway, Manhattan starting on November 6th, 2023 and ending on June 24th, 2024. During this time, students will be working on campaigns of their choice using real-world advocacy techniques, public speaking, opinion writing, storytelling, and more. Participants will receive a stipend of $150/mo for their work. 

Our hope is that Teens Take Charge can act as a valuable resource for young organizers who want to engage in community work through providing a supportive environment and connecting students from across the five boroughs.
