About Us

Who are We?

All Teen Outreach programs are teen led and teen driven. Teens are not only our focus, but they are also the force behind all we do. We host an Adolescent Advisory Board (since 1999), a Teen Executive Board at our Common Ground Teen Center (since 2008) and a Teen Mental Health Advisory Board. In 2025, we created an Interact Club, which is part of Rotary International, to focus upon community service.

Respect Online

Respect Online is a peer education program that teaches young people boundaries and consent regarding social media. Junior and senior students are trained in the program; they then teach middle school students.

"When a peer teaches, the message is a shout — when an adult teaches, it is a whisper."
