Teen Line Outreach

TEEN LINE has the unique ability to connect with teenagers because teens form the core of our organization … they speak the same language. We created our teen-to-teen Hotline and Community Outreach Program over 30 years ago, offering teenagers a “safe haven” – a place to talk things out with another teen in a nurturing and non-judgmental environment.

Teens call because they trust us.

We offer different outreach presentations that are great for schools or community organizations. Whenever possible, presentations include our TEEN LINE Listeners to help answer any questions about applying, training, and the hotline experience itself. Outreach services are tailored to accommodate different schedules and populations, though we need at least 45 minutes!

We can accommodate groups as large as assemblies, yet our presentations truly shine in classrooms. Hosting a resource fair? We’d love to have a space!

Presentations
