21.1 coverTeen Voices need your help. Because of a recent decrease in funding, we're at a crisis. We must raise $300,000 by August 1. Yes, it's that bad.

 

For nearly 25 years, girls and young women in Boston and beyond have counted on Teen Voices to provide a positive, girl-friendly space to grow as writers and leaders. We are not going down without a fight.  

 

You know us, and you know our work-our girl-generated magazine is the only publication of its kind. Thousands of girls around the globe count on Teen Voices to publish their work and offer honest, positive stories that address real issues in their lives.

 

The good news is our magazine and our afterschool program are stronger than ever. We've produced two excellent issues in the past year and more than 225 online articles--including interviews with inspiring girls in action and powerful leading ladies like Donna Brazile, Jennifer Buffett, and Maria Hinojosa. We consistently have a waiting list for our afterschool and summer journalism program, and our Boston-based teens continue to show growth in perseverance, social efficacy, and acceptance of others.

 

With a strong and dedicated staff and an army of passionate teens and volunteers, we are poised to take Teen Voices to the next level in 2013, reaching many more girls worldwide. We have a vision to increase our web traffic tenfold and become the go-to place for smart girl media. We have plans--and even a grant!--to make teenvoices.com an interactive, smartphone-friendly forum for girls to amplify their voices.

 

It's all within reach.

 

But right now, we need funds to get around this challenging corner and move our organization to a stronger future. With your help, Teen Voices can partner with other organizations and transform itself to amplify the voices of girls.  Whether you can afford $5, $50 or $5,000, every donation brings us closer.

 

You can send a safe and secure contribution through this PayPal link.
