For Teens Only was an all-day expo that provided comprehensive exposure to the best resources that Charlotte has to offer youth and families so they are equipped with the knowledge to enhance their lives. 

Based on the event’s theme “For Teens Only: I Am Worth Saving,” we offered information to encourage healthy decision-making, respect, responsibility, goal setting, career planning and youth activism on the issues that matter most to teens. 

We`d like to thank our Vendors for their participation.  Without them, this event would not have been possible!  THANK YOU
