UTEC's mission is to be a "by teens, for teens" safe-haven for youth development and grassroots organizing. UTEC provides a safe and multicultural place of belonging emphasizing the holistic development of Lowell's young people, ages 13-23, particularly those most often overlooked and labeled as "at-risk." UTEC reaches out to these young people through intensive street outreach, builds upon their unique strengths within a youth development framework, and creates opportunities to best support them in becoming agents of social change and organizers in the community.
Teen Voices is an intensive journalism mentoring and leadership development program for teen girls in Boston whose mission is to further social and economic justice by empowering teenage and young adult women.
Through its program, teen girls create Teen Voices and Teen Voices Online, two internationally distributed print and online social justice magazines reaching
50,000 readers and receiving 7.6 million hits from 98 countries annually. Written by, for, and about teen girls, Teen Voices is positive, powerful, and empowering, amplifying teen girls' real voices in a world filled with too much media focused on what girls look like—not what they think.
