ABOUT
TEEENS 4 TEENS
A grassroots movement built by the people to make permanent change, not just drop-off menstrual products.
MISSION & HISTORY.
Not just a nonprofit, a grassroots movement. That’s what founder Boyce Pressly envisioned when he launched Teens 4 Teens. What began as a small group of Bronx high schoolers collecting menstrual products for underserved peers has grown into an international network of 42 youth-led chapters. This network is driven by a shared mission: Fight for menstrual equity, empower young women, and uplift local economies.
At Teens 4 Teens, we do things differently. Other initiatives flood developing markets with free and foreign aid, bankrupting local businesses and creating long-term dependence. We prioritize the community and its economic strength. We purchase pads and tampons directly from pharmacies in the communities we serve. This means your support doesn't only help girls stay in school, it also strengthens local supply chains, generates income for small businesses, and fosters deep community trust.
We don’t believe in charity that disempowers. We believe in solidarity that sustains. Each product we deliver is a vote of confidence in a girl’s future and an investment in a local economy’s strength. Join us in rewriting the story of global giving, one where teens uplift teens, dignity meets development, and grassroots power drives permanent change.
