Here’s what Teens are saying about the program:

 

“Teen TeamWorks is my favorite service project.  I enjoyed learning about the value of volunteerism and got to put the lessons into practice immediately in several different communities.”

“Teen TeamWorks is a fun program, but you learn a lot. It’s nothing like school...It helped boost my volunteer service and showed me how I can have fun while volunteering.  I am a better and more aware person because of Teen TeamWorks."
