Why I Give
“Why do I support Teens Connect? It’s a simple answer. Because there is not a more important community to foster than that of our children, especially those who stand at the portal of adulthood. Our youth are the very people among us who deserve all of our resources, to provide guidance and truth as they move forward into the next chapter of their lives. Teens Connect helps them navigate the challenges they face and
develop meaningful relationships that will shape every action and thought that will influence their future path. The programs at Teens Connect work to provide all of this by being inclusive, creative and deeply compassionate. Teens Connect is an extraordinary gift for our community; shaping lives and saving lives. What more deserves our full support?”

"When I first learned about Teens Connect I reached out to Jeni and made my first donation before she even had her IRS status. Since then, my daughter has joined the organization’s diverse leadership council and her experience with Teens Connect has greatly impacted our entire family. Everything Teens Connect does is teen informed, and I don’t know of another organization that gives so much authority to the community it serves. I now sit on Teens Connect’s Advisory Board and make an annual contribution. The need for prevention programs for our youth is great, and Teens Connect is meeting that need. "
Pete Richmond, President of Silverado Farming Company, Inc. and major donor
