What We Are
The Tennessee Teen Institute is a statewide youth prevention program that equips young people with the knowledge, leadership skills, and prevention strategies needed to promote healthy decision-making and create positive community changes. Through interactive workshops, seminars, team-building experiences, and hands-on activities, participants develop the skills, confidence, and connections needed to become effective leaders. Each year, approximately 500 teen leaders, adult team advisors, and TTI staff participate in the program. Participants leave TTI motivated not only to make healthy decisions in their own lives, but also committed to inspiring and empowering others to make healthy choices and create positive change in their schools and communities.
The overall goal of the Tennessee Teen Institute is to promote the development of a healthy, safe, and drug-free lifestyle by impacting the attitudes and behaviors of youth across the state in the areas of alcohol, tobacco, drug abuse, violence, mental health, and vehicle safety.
TTI facilitates this by having young people develop Action Plans to implement prevention projects and programs in their schools and communities. TTI focuses on youth leadership skills and empowerment as key strategies to prevent underage alcohol and drug use, suicide, and teen crashes.
