WHEN TEENS TALK, TEENS LISEN
We have known for a long time that teens are more influenced by their peers than by adults in authority. That's why our programs are successful. We're not here to tell youth what to think or do.
Our approach is to inspire leadership among teens and to provide opportunities for self-development.
Through a variety of programs, offered locally, regionally, and statewide, we offer year-round skills training, education, and support for teens and adult advisors who are working together to make a positive difference. Our unique training format empowers teens to become self-aware and confident Individuals, create healthy lifestyles, cultivate positive relationships and become engaged as leaders in their schools and communities.The New Hampshire Teen Institute offers a variety of prevention-based leadership training programs for middle school students and high school students. Some of these take place at a particular training site, while others are presented in schools or communities around the State.
Go to the NH Teen Institute website to learn more about each of these specific programs.
