Who are we? Teen Voices is a print and online magazine written by, for, and about teen girls AND a journalism mentoring and leadership program in Boston. We're here to remind teen girls all over the world that they matter!
In the heart of downtown Boston, our program brings all different kinds of teen girls together to create Teen Voices magazine, which is distributed to other teen girls just like them around the world. We laugh, dance and learn from each other... and there's always room for more!
Are you a teen girl living in Boston, interested in journalism or writing?
Are you a college student or recent grad, interested in a rewarding internship?

You've just entered a place where girls and women are never disrespected or discriminated against. We offer teen girls a space where they don't have to look a certain way to be acknowledged.

Who I'd like to meet: Oprah, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Barack Obama, Will Smith, Pete Doherty, Rumiko Tanahashi, MLK Jr., Malcolm X, Alicia Keys, Ray Allen, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Rihanna
Thank you Teen Voices. I support what you are doing. I am the mother of three females and one male. 2 are grown women who are feminists and 1 is a feminist who just became a teenager. The male is 10 and also a feminist. They all are, because I have been a feminist since I was 15. We need strong young women voices because not everyone has support in their lives.
