Teen Voices is a Boston-based magazine written by and for teen girls through journalism mentoring workshops. The magazine, founded in 1989, [1] 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.[2]. Teen Voices prints fiction, poetry, artwork, and reviews by teen girls ages 13-19. [3]

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." [4] 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."[5]

Teen Voices hosts an annual event, Poetically Speaking, where teen girls share their poetry.[6]. They also hold an annual event, Amplify, which celebrates "girls recreating media." [7]

Teen Voices is published by Women Express, Inc.
