Women Express, Inc. – Teen Voices Online

Teen Voices Online is the only magazine by, for, and about teenage and young women. Women Express’s mission is to further social and economic justice by empowering teenage and young adult women. Almost 200 teen girls and 40 young adult women mentors participate in the out-of-school time mentoring program in Boston, training editors for Teen Voices magazine and participating in other new programming that combines critical thinking and writing. Two thousand teens from around the world (99 percent girls) send their original art, opinions, poetry, stories, and other editorial content to Teen Voices for possible publication. Teen Voices has a print readership of approximately 50,000 and an average of 6 million annual hits to www.TeenVoices.com.

Teen Voices offers a feminist work environment that is challenging, fast-paced, and fun. They are looking for ambitious, hard-working women who will not only be effective in their work but role models for the Teen Editional Board and part of the greater movement for social and economic justice.
