community highlights!

---

  This year, Teens Have Visions 2 proudly partnered with local community leader Makita Phillips for our back to school teen braid workshop. 

Makita, for taking the time to pour into the lives of our teen girls today. Your words, energy, and encouragement truly made an impact. Your presence helped inspire confidence, purpose, and motivation as they prepare to take on the new school year.

We’re grateful for your support and look forward to more moments of empowerment together!

Each teen gathered with purpose—to learn, connect, and share their passions for the future. Your support made that possible. We extend our deepest thanks to every parent, volunteer, and contributor who made this experience meaningful. Every girl left with a school supply bag and a hygiene kit—generously donated by our community partners.

We’re thrilled to share that Teens Have Visions 2 recently celebrated our first Cake Decorating Workshop, and it was a sweet success!

This hands-on experience introduced teens to creative decorating themes and techniques, allowing them to explore their artistic sides in a fun and supportive environment. Each participant received a certificate of participation, a gift bag, and most importantly—an exceptional opportunity to create memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Our enriched life skills workshops are thoughtfully designed to help teens thrive, while developing both personal and professional skills that will serve them well into the future.

We’re proud to continue empowering our youth through creativity, confidence, and community.
