My Organization (Teen Voices Emerging) Information:
Organization Mission Statement:
Teen
Voices Emerging (TVE) is an all-girls writing and mentorship program,
which aims to empower young urban girls through the power of words and
connection. Its philosophy is built on the premise that every young girl
should have the opportunity to share her voice with her community to
create a social movement that changes the skewed representation and
images of women and girls in the media.
Organization Description:
Teen
Voices Emerging provides a writing and mentorship after-school program,
which serves Boston teen girls (ages 13-19) and focuses on exploring
girls’ issues and developing teens’ writing skills. Teen girls learn
writing, creative self-expression, research, and analytical skills by
writing poetry, short stories, personal narratives, news articles, and
other media content for publication. Girls also receive mentorship from
strong female professionals and participate in events with a focus on
social justice.
