WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

Our mission at TEENS, Inc. is to support, educate, and empower youth and their families. We want to help young people make healthy choices and thrive — while giving them skills to succeed in the workforce and as a person.

We help change the lives of youth by giving them the space and opportunities to do amazing things.

We don’t make the trail for them, but we give them the tools (literally, in the cases of TeamWorks & Youth Corps).

At Chinook West High School, Lookout Mountain Academy, and New Explorer’s Learning Center, we provide critical educational resources for a wide, Colorado mountain community. Through our programs we serve more than 350 children and teens each year ranging in age from 2.5 to 21 years old.
