Being featured in Inspiring Teens helped me realize that I am more than capable of anything if I truly put in the work. It has made me feel so accomplished in many ways, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity. – Autumn Parker Issue 101
From Issue 1 - 102, we've come a long way!
Inspiring Teens is a national platform that celebrates young people who are making a difference in their schools and communities. Through storytelling, leadership experiences, and scholarships, we help teens share their experiences and build confidence as they step into the future.
It started with an idea. It became a movement.
In 2015, two high school seniors had a simple vision — create a magazine that celebrated the good happening in their schools. What began as a single summer project has been passed down from one generation of leaders to the next.
Ten years later that spark has grown into a national platform.
10 Years of Impact
100+ Issues Published
$200,000+ in Scholarships Awarded
Thousands of Teens Recognized Nationwide
The next 10 years starts with one nomination.
Beyond the Pages: A National Movement What began as a local project is now a national platform connecting families, mentors, photographers, and educators. We aren’t just publishing a magazine; we are building a movement. Every year, thousands of teens use our programs to mobilize their communities, practice real-world outreach, and secure scholarships that turn their dreams into reality.
