Every year, remarkable teenagers across the country are doing something most adults never attempt — they're building something, leading something, changing something, all before they ever set foot in a college classroom.

​

Inspiring Teens Magazine exists to find them, feature them, and fund them.

​

For ten years we've been doing exactly that — recognizing teen leaders from every state, every background, and every discipline, and helping them earn scholarships through a self-directed leadership program that teaches real skills in real time. To date, we've awarded over $200,000 in scholarships to teens who earned every dollar.

​

Your business can be part of that.

​

How Business Sponsorship Works

When a teen in our program secures you as a sponsor, they're not asking for a donation. They're making you a professional offer — and delivering on it.

​

Here's what you receive when you sponsor a teen's campaign:

​

Visibility Where It Matters

Your logo and business link appear on the teen's personal impact page and published blog feature for the full duration of their leadership window — seen by their entire network of family, friends, teachers, and community members actively following their campaign.

​

Scholarship Credit in Their Name

Every sponsorship is publicly credited with "Scholarship sponsored in part by [Your Business Name]" — on their campaign page, their blog, and in their scholarship announcement.

​

A Press Release Written For You

This is what makes our sponsorship offer different from anything you've been asked to do before.

​

Within days of your sponsorship, the teen writes a professionally structured press release — reviewed and approved by Inspiring Teens Magazine — about your business and your investment in their future. It's ready to send to your local newspaper, post on your website, share on social media, and submit to your Chamber of Commerce newsletter.

​

A human interest story about a local business investing in a teen leader's scholarship is exactly what local media publishes. Most business owners pay PR firms hundreds of dollars for placement like this and never get around to it. Your teen handles it — because writing that press release is part of their leadership experience.

​

You get the story. They get the skill. Both of you get the credit.

​

What It Costs

Sponsorships start at $250 — 50 votes at $5 each, going directly toward the teen's scholarship fund. There's no package to choose and no artwork to submit. The teen's impact page handles everything at checkout. You decide how generous you want to be.

​

What the Teen Brings to Your Door

The teens in our program who pursue business sponsorships aren't just collecting votes. They're learning to make a professional ask, manage a sponsor relationship, write a press release, and follow through from first conversation to final delivery — all within a real-world timeline.

​

When a teen from Inspiring Teens Magazine walks into your business, they'll have a one-pager, a clear offer, and the professionalism to back it up. They've prepared for this conversation. They're ready to earn your support — not just ask for it.

​

If one hasn't found you yet but you'd like to be found, reach out below. We'll make sure the right teen knows you're interested.

​

Community Partnership — A Longer Conversation

Some businesses want to do more than support one teen for one issue. If you're interested in an ongoing relationship with Inspiring Teens Magazine — with visibility across multiple teens, multiple issues, and a sustained presence in our community — we'd love to talk.

​

Community Partnership is a direct relationship with ITM, not tied to a single campaign. It means your business is part of the story we tell every issue — and every teen from your area who goes through our program knows your name before they ever walk through your door.

​

We vet every Community Partner carefully because the relationship runs both ways. If this sounds like a fit, introduce yourself below and we'll take it from there.

Whether a teen sent you here, you found us on your own, or you're ready to explore what an ongoing partnership looks like — we'd love to hear from you.
