We live at the intersection.
Venn Youth brings teens together — phone-free, in person, and for real. A place to find your people, share your story, and build community that actually lasts.
MISSION STATEMENT
Venn Youth is a peer-led nonprofit creating phone-free, in-person community programming for adolescents ages 14–18 — to combat social isolation, loneliness, and anxiety, and to advance the social, emotional, and civic development of young people.
Gather
Phone-free, in-person gatherings where teens put down their devices and show up for each other — in real life.
Share
Peer-led storytelling and structured conversations where every voice belongs and every story matters.
Build
Youth-led affinity clubs and peer facilitated programs — teens design and lead their own community spaces.

Ready to find your people?
Membership is free. Everything is phone-free and in person. And you belong here - exactly as you are.
Invest in real connection for real kids
Venn Youth partners with companies, foundations, and community leaders who believe that belonging isn’t built online - it is built in person.
