Teen Inspirators is a year-round educational, community service and leadership development program for youth ages 11 – 17. Teen Inspirators is designed “by teens, for teens.” The program is unique because teens assume a lead role in planning programs and events and make decisions about the group. Teen Inspirators has been very successful over its 10+ years of existence. Teen Inspirators participate in bi-weekly workshops (many of them written and led by the teens themselves), monthly community service projects, fundraisers, and other events throughout the year.
|
Meets year-round, except during school vacations. Special events and activities take place during the summer months. The group meets Monday afternoons (6th – 8th graders) and Friday afternoons (9th – 12th graders) during the school year. |
Ages 11-17
