TEAM POWER
The Teen Health team works together– to transform challenges into triumphs!
About Teen Health, Inc.
TeenHealth supports existing charities; and provides youth and young adults with highly nutritional packaged and bulk foods, beverages, supplements, natural personal care products and clothing.
We draw support directly from Natural Products vendors that you would find in a typical Whole Foods store. Our model is unique in that we are both opportunity buyers of products. But as a non-profit, we can also secure products as donations that is a tax-exempt event with the IRS.
All of these products are moved across our network quickly.
We are engaging youth from 14-24 of age- from the inner city. These are often at-risk individuals. Those in transition who are homeless, coming out of gangs, juvenile hall/ incarceration, or foster care. We also support individuals who have one or multiple disabilities.
We engage via a network of agencies, non-profits, and schools across Southern California and will expand our model in 2024 to include San Francisco, Oakland, and other major metros across the US.
Since we launched in 2022, we’ve had a single deliverable- a gift bag full of healthy products.
In 2024, we are bringing a Super Snack Box, a Mighty Meal Box, and a PC (Personal Care) Box.
Thank you for your interest in supporting Teen Health in our mission. Together we can make an impact on the health of the youth and young adults we engage.
Team power and teamwork are vital for teens in danger, offering a united front to navigate challenges. By combining individual strengths and fostering trust, we aim to create a supportive network that enhances problem-solving and resilience.
This collective approach provides emotional and practical assistance, empowering teens to confront and overcome adversity effectively.
