GOALS

  3. Gain an enduring realization that helping others is the path to success.

  4. To help build and improve the self-image of teens

  6. To celebrate the differences among people outside their identified environment through inter-generational local and international service

  7. To help promote leadership skills through representation on the Teen Board and by sharing local and international experiences in their schools, community & places of worship.

OUR HISTORY

In 1996, Teens Inc was reestablished by two retired Philadelphia public school educators after being non-existent for about 25 years. During this time period there were no formal activities for teens under one organization. Teens Inc filled a void for our young people in the Northwest sector of Philadelphia (including 19114, 19118, 19119, 19128, 19129, 19138, 19140, 19141, 19144, 19150,19151) and surrounding suburban areas. We continue to nuture and champion volunteerism in near and global neighborhoods through service outreach.  We also provide safe gathering places for social activities for our teens and pre-teens.

​

In 2000, the Inc Spot, our Teen Center, was donated by a local Chestnut Hill business person. The Inc Spot is used for recreation, meetings, art classes, movie nights, birthday parties and workshops. Our program welcomes all teens and pre-teens, ages 10-19.  Young adults, including former Teens Inc members, are also actively involved in our organization through fundraising, chaperoning or creating and running programs.  We have always welcomed these young adults to join the Board.   We are non-exclusionary.  We welcome all teens.
