Teen Empowerment empowers urban youth to catalyze positive change in their own lives, in the values and beliefs of their peers, and in their urban communities.

If you want to become a part of our movement and support this mission, then join the Friends of Teen Empowerment. Friends help TE by volunteering, supporting us financially (donations in every amount are appreciated!), spreading the word about TE and advocating for youth issues. Our goal is to raise $50,000 and make at least 200 Friends!

If you are ready to join, sign on to the Friends Pledge below and tell us how you'd like to be involved using this form.

I pledge to help create and sustain a community in which young people:

• have access to legitimate forms of  power and input in the decisions that affect their lives;
• are provided with resources that are equitable;
• feel safe and where peace is a priority;
• are valued and treated with respect; and,
• have opportunities to build their skills and capitalize on their unique talents to achieve their dreams.
