About Us
Welcome to The BFF Project! We're a non-profit organization created by teens, for teens. We get it – being a teenager can be a wild ride, full of ups, downs, and everything in between. That's why we decided to build a space where you can just be yourself, find support when you need it, and get help figuring out all the big stuff, like jobs, college, and just life in general.
Our main goal is to provide a super cool, safe, and welcoming lounge where you can hang out, meet new people, and chill. But we're more than just a lounge. We're a community. A place where you can connect with peers who understand what you're going through, and access resources that actually make a difference.
From volunteer opportunities to workshops that help you nail that job interview or college application, The BFF Project is here to back you up. We believe that every teen has amazing potential, and we're passionate about helping you discover and unleash it. This whole project is run by teens, so we're always tuned in to what you really need and want. Come join us and be part of something amazing!
