|  Teen Voices is an intensive journalism mentoring and leadership development program for teen girls in Boston whose mission is to support and educate teen girls to amplify their voices and create social change through media. Through its program, teen girls create Teen Voices and Teen Voices Online, two internationally distributed print and online social justice magazines reaching 60,000 readers and receiving 7.2 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. Founded in 1988 by two young adult women who believed in the power of girls to create social change through writing and art, Teen Voices is a local program with an international impact. In Boston, Teen Voices primarily works with low-income girls of color to develop critical thinking, writing and communication, and leadership skills necessary for academic, personal, and professional success. Worldwide, girls from diverse backgrounds submit their writing for possible publication. Our goal is to encourage teen girls around the world to use their skills to speak out on issues, create positive and powerful media, and lead change in their communities.
