Our Mission
Teaming Up For Teens is a community based 501(c)(3) non profit whose mission is to supply basic hygiene needs and link together the services for our homeless and at risk teens in the west metro suburbs so they can protect themselves from the elements and actively participate in school. And to inspire a new generation of philanthropic leaders by encouraging volunteerism and raising awareness among local youth.
We do this by teaming up with local schools and services to identify and then provide basic health and hygiene items not currently available to their homeless and at at-risk teens, we also provide fingertip/local resource information along with support and encouragement as this otherwise hidden group of youths strive to complete school and transition into adulthood and self-sufficiency
Teaming Up For Teens is a program that supports the needs of homeless and/or at risk teens in the Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park and West Tonka/Excelsior areas. We are funded through a partnership with the Hopkins Elks Lodge as well as through private donations and various fundraising activities.
We have made a commitment to reach out to at risk teens in our community who, at a crucial time in their lives, could use extra help and encouragement.
We acknowledge that it will take the entire community working together to make a positive impact on this growing group. We are committed to providing support to these teens primarily through providing personal support packs that contain everyday items ranging from personal hygiene to clothing to back to school supplies as well as other seasonal items appropriate throughout the year.
