Welcome to The Teen Expo
Exposure Yields Opportunity! Unfortunately, our broken systems and inequitable policies maintain a divide between communities of color and the life changing opportunities and experiences required to thrive, break the cycle of poverty, and create generational wealth.
Be the change you want to see in the world by becoming one of our teen mentors, helping eager 7th to 12th graders build a foundation for life-long success. Help them make their dreams come true!
A Letter to our Teen Mentors
The power of one has a ripple effect that can span generations! Your decision to give back by mentoring a teenager empowers you to facilitate lasting change. As a Mentor, you will share your knowledge, skills, wisdom, and time in your area of speciality with the objective of redefining and reshaping your local community.
A Letter to our Teens
If you see it , you can be it! Your Mentor will provide you with access to the hobby, career, or area of interest you want to explore more. It’s ok if you aren’t sure what you want to be when you grow up, it’s about exploring your options, trying things on for size, and developing essential career skills. Exposure yields opportunity.
