Our Mission

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Teens Together is all about connecting teens from around the world and building a supportive community where everyone feels understood and valued. Our mission is to create a space where teenagers can come together to share experiences, support each other, and grow strong together. We organize fundraisers around NYC, raising awareness and support for mental health initiatives. Beyond that, we host worldwide meetings for teens to openly discuss their mental health struggles, providing a safe and inclusive environment for these important conversations. By collaborating with other groups and participating in webinars and podcasts, we amplify our message and provide valuable resources to our community.

Join us at Teens Together, where every voice matters and together, we can make a difference.

Meet Alyssa! Alyssa is a junior in high school living in NYC. She enjoys singing, acting, and going to the beach. She is deeply committed to raising awareness for mental health, especially among teens, as she believes that it is not talked about enough. She and her brother started this support group because, since COVID times, mental health significantly declined for everyone. She has a passion for hosting and directing events and is currently organizing multiple fundraisers for Teens Together, trying her best to ensure that everyone knows there is always someone willing to listen and support them through their mental health journey.

Meet Max! Max is a rising freshman in college living in NYC. He enjoys playing basketball, reading, wrestling, and exploring nature. Max has always been driven by a desire to help others, shaping his approach to creating this support group. Anxiety, stress, OCD, depression, etc are just some crucial topics that are often overlooked. Max believes that as teenagers, it is important we don’t ignore our mental health. He is dedicated to mental health advocacy, and continues to inspire and support others on their mental health journeys.
