Teen Voices on the Web!

Teen Voices is an intensive journalism mentoring and leadership development program for teen girls in Boston whose mission is to support and educate teen girls to amplify their voices and create social change through media.  Through our program, we develop a biannual magazine, Teen Voices, as well as publish new content monthly on http://www.teenvoices.com. 

Currently, Teen Voices Online (http://www.teenvoices.com) features an interview with members of the Boston Youth Poetry Slam Team, information about the effects of plastic surgery, and an activist spotlight on Naomi Nelson.  Teen Voices also posts book reviews, short stories and poetry.  Any teen girl can submit her work for publication using this form (http://teenvoices.com/issue_current/tvsubmit_form.php).  If you’re in Boston and are or know of a teen who may be interested in applying to be a teen editor, you can do so here! (http://teenvoices.com/tv_program_application.html).

Teen Voices just released our fall print issue at the beginning of November!  We have special features on gang violence, getting into college, and going green.  We’re also in the middle of our fall teen program, and the girls are working on some great feature articles for our upcoming print and online issues.  Program will run through December 18, and we are so excited about the work that the teens are doing!
