That's What Teens Say

Confidence Building For Teens

The That’s What Teens Say program was developed to empower young girls to learn more about themselves and their passions and to explore how their unique voice can make a positive impact on the world.

What Is That's What Teens Say

That’s What Teens Say is a 3-Day intensive program designed to empower teen girls and young women to use their unique voice to positively impact the world. They participate in confidence-building exercises, creative writing activities, and public speaking coaching to find their story, own their story, and share their story.
