THE TEEN TOOLBOX promotes youth portfolio development, academic enrichment, and civic engagement to help youth set goals for life after high school and develop a plan to reach those goals.
Packaged For Success™ Portfolio Development Program helps youth put their best foot forward. During our one day professional portfolio development seminar, young people discover their strengths, record their achievements, and develop goals and action steps. The end result is a completed professional portfolio that may be used in a variety of academic and professional environments.
We believe that education is an essential tool to uplift individuals and improve families and communities. We provide workshops and resources that help students, parents, and schools build strong working relationships.
Our workshops allow teens to learn fundamental success strategies and incorporate those strategies into their lives. We offer four positive youth development workshops. Contact us for pricing.
- 5 Steps To Success
- Making The Most of High School
- The World Is Your Classroom
- The Road Trip
Providing youth the chance to make a difference in their families, schools and communities increases the likelihood that they will be successful at school, avoid risky behaviors, and grow up to become caring, productive adults. We offer meaningful civic engagement opportunities that allow youth to connect with others and develop professional skills.
The Teen Toolbox sponsors two annual events to raise awareness about the issues faced by youth aging out of foster care. We work to show our young people in foster care that someone cares.
- Pack A Purse Drive – collects purses and personal hygiene items for teen girls in foster homes, foster care group homes, and homeless shelters (December)
- Pack A Backpack Drive – collects backpacks and personal hygiene items for teen girls in foster homes, foster care group homes, and homeless shelters (May)

SPOTLIGHT TEEN OF THE MONTH/FOSTER CARE
Our “SPOTLIGHT Teen of the Month” feature recognizes a teen in foster care that is making a positive impact in their community. This feature allows us to highlight the best in our young people and show that, when given support and opportunity youth can change the world. (Note: Teens will be recognized on our website and social media pages.)
