Dear Friends and Supporters of TeenWorks,In 1981, Gene B. Glick had an idea to provide transformational opportunities to disadvantaged Hoosier teens through valuable, paid summer employment and meaningful connections with their community. In 2014, our 33rd year of fulfilling this vision through our signature summer program, we are proud to share that TeenWorks expanded our reach to serve 211 teens in Indianapolis and 44 teens in Muncie, an increase of 143% from 2013, and an exponential increase from the first group of 100 teens we served in 1981.

Despite our phenomenal growth, the simple, yet profound value that has guided our work over the years remains unchanged: to empower teens to achieve excellence in college, career, and community.

In 2014, we excelled by diversifying our summer employment experiences for teens, enabling them to explore careers in such industries as construction, computer science, and urban gardening. New, formal volunteer opportunities empowered teens to give back to their community while furthering social skills and self-confidence. A pilot of our new TeenWorks 360 program was launched in August and provides teens with year-round support from TeenWorks staff and committed mentors, while creating opportunities for greater parent involvement in each student’s success.

As we look to the future, we’re excited to continue expanding collaborations with community partners and providing even more opportunities for teens to achieve excellence in college, career, and community as they develop into the leaders of tomorrow.

We could not achieve this impact without the generosity and commitment of our many supporters — like you. Thank you for being a part of our success and for supporting TeenWorks teens.

Sincerely,

Marianne Glick Mary Boyer Chairman of the Board Executive Director

Our Summer Program’s 33rd YearTeenWorks’ unique and innovative Summer Employment and College Readiness Program provides Indianapolis and Muncie teens facing the greatest socio-economic challenges a unique learning opportunity that combines paid employment, classroom training, and civic engagement opportunities for teens on college campuses and in the community for six weeks every summer. For the vast majority of these teens, TeenWorks Summer Program provides their first job experience and opportunity to earn a paid income.

• bi-annual college visits to help participating teens recognize that going to college is within their reach;

• career exposure through workshops from local businesses and access to community partner career fairs that help participating teens identify and pursue prospective career paths; and
