Teen Takeover

Teen Takeover was created in an effort to alleviate feelings of anxiety and isolation among teens in the Treasure Valley. After realizing our community has a shortage of spaces offering free resources for teens to foster connections and cultivate new friendships we decided to do something to give teens a space outside of school to meet new friends, feel connected, and enjoy being teenagers.

Teen Takeover is a teens-only (ages 14-18) event designed to create a space of positivity where Boise youth can make memories and relationships outside of the norm. There is a space for everyone. 

The high-school-centric program includes all kinds of activities for teens to pick from, including interactive games, live music, friendship bracelet making, photo-ops, nighttime slide rides, free food and drink, spaces to relax and hangout, plus so much more. 

COLLABORATORS

Teen Takeover is JUMP’s teens-only program created in collaboration with Communities for Youth- Boise Initiative, a local nonprofit with the mission to fight suicide using upstream prevention through programs like Teen Takeover.

Thank you to past collaborators including The Idaho Steelheads, Dirt Road Dancing, and the Central District Health.
