Teens Helping Teens

Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Children & Youth, Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Human Services

Mission: Created by teens to help underprivileged, homeless and displaced youth, THT works community wide, going directly to the streets with encouragement, donations, hygiene kits, winter and summer survival kits, food and water while directing them to resources for shelter and services. We are working on going Mobil, with street outreach units to bring help quickly and efficiency into communities and going GLOBIL with cels of teen volunteers working in cities across the nation to support the teens in need in their own backyards. Peer to Peer support because nobody understands the needs of a teenager better then another teenager, while helping our brothers and sister survive we are also growing the next generation of philanthropists and community service leaders to make our world a better place.

I love volunteering with other teens and making blankets, knitting scarves or putting together survival kits. But the most meaningful part of my volunteering with this group was when I got to deliver items to teens at a shelter. It really made me realize how lucky I am and made me want to do even more to help these kids that don't have anything. They were so excited to get things they really needed and wanted and even in their correct sizes. Very special and I will volunteer with them every time they need me.

I have been witness to the street outreach this group of teens does and it is amazing display of selflessness by teens that usually do not know the meaning of selfless. Food, school supplies, clothing and hygiene kits were handed out to hundreds of homeless youth in a very organized and kind manner.
