Teen Voices is a Boston-based magazine written by and for teen girls through journalism mentoring workshops. The magazine focuses on social justice issues and encourages girls to become critical media consumers. It is published in print biannually (November and April), and monthly issues are published online.[1] Women's E-News reports that the teens who write for Teen Voices "gain journalism skills, while Teen Voices' readers receive a magazine that deals with serious societal issues--minus the celebrity profiles, fashion advice and dating tips common to most teen publications." [2] According to the nonprofit's website, Teen Voices "challenges the status quo and changes the status of girls and young women by presenting a view of girls that is more positive, more in depth, more diverse, and more supportive than mainstream images."[3] Teen Voices hosts an annual poetry event, Poetically Speaking, for teen girls.[4]
