A Teacher and a Nurse Teen Life Center
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
We focus in the area of education with teens ages 13 - 19. We discuss topics that the teens face daily. We use curriculum that is fact based, such as "Aspire". We meet bi-weekly with an average of 7 - 12 teens attending each meeting. We provide a warm meal at each meeting and have monthly celebrations for birthdays and holidays. The teens also participate in our service/mission project each month at a local soup kitchen in our neighboring city, Pensacola, FL at Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter. This shelter is for families that must have children.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $200 spent. The Teen Life Center, located in a rural town, Milton, FL, continues to volunteer 2 - 3 Mondays a month at Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter and Soup Kitchen. We assist Rev. Ron in the kitchen with preparing meals for the residents or packaging breakfast items needed daily to feed the homeless in the community. Also, for the 2026 calendar year, the teens are making sanitary bags which consist of sanitary pads, feminine sanitary wipes, anti-bacterial hand wipes, one pair of underwear, and deodorant. These bags are delivered to 8 local Title I schools and are replenished as the schools need them. This project will go on for the entire year. This year we were blessed to partner with the female sports teams at Milton High School. We began in December with the girls' varsity basketball team. Once a month our organization provides the team with a meal before the game, and I offer education and an opportunity for the teens to discuss any topics they may have questions about and/or having issues with.
