Teen Voices is an intensive journalism, mentoring, and leadership program for teen girls in Boston. Through its program, teens write and create articles for an internationally distributed print and online magazine. Teen Voices has 45,000 print readers and receives more than 275,000 page views from 179 countries annually. The magazine, founded in 1988,[1] focuses on social justice issues and encourages girls to become critical media consumers. It also encourages teen girls around the world to speak out on issues, creates positive and powerful media, and leads change in their communities.

Its mission is to support and educate teen girls to amplify their voices and create social change through media.[2]

Teen Voices is published by Women Express[3] in print biannually (November and April), and monthly issues are published online.[4]

Content

Women's E-News reports that the teens who write for Teen Voices "gain journalism skills, while Teen Voices' readers receive a magazine that deals with serious societal issues--minus the celebrity profiles, fashion advice and dating tips common to most teen publications."[5] According to the non-profit's website, Teen Voices "challenges the status quo and changes the status of girls and young women by presenting a view of girls that is more positive, more in depth, more diverse, and more supportive than mainstream images."[6]

Teen Voices accepts submissions from teen girls around the world. Girls ages 13–19 can submit art, poetry, reviews, fiction and nonfiction content for possible publication.[6] The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of ‘’Teen Voices’’ contains cover stories on sex trafficking, writing college essays, bullying, and instructions on staying safe and professional online.[7] It includes interviews with photojournalist Scout Tufankjian, Twitter's Del Harvey, and actress Anna Deavere Smith.

The Fall/Winter 2011 issue of ‘’Teen Voices’’ commemorated Teen Voices’ 20th year of print publishing. This issue contains articles on the dangers of sexting, teenage runaways, child marriage, and the art of henna design.[8]

Annual events

Teen Voices hosts an annual event, Poetically Speaking, where teen girls share their poetry.[9] Since 2009, this event has been held at Emerson College. It is the only spoken word and poetry event for teen girls in the Greater Boston Area.[10]

In April, Teen Voices holds its annual fundraising event, amplify. In 2011, Teen Voices celebrated “20 years of girls speaking truth to power.” Political powerhouse Donna Brazile gave the keynote speech and helped the organization celebrate its 20th year of print publication.[10]

Actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith performed at the Amplify event held at Simmons College on April 14, 2010.[11] Author and filmmaker Jean Kilbourne gave the keynote speech at the 2009 event.

Teen Voices is published by Teen Voices, Inc.
