The purpose of Teens Care Too (TC2) is to empower teens to keep their schools and community alcohol and drug free by taking positive peer leadership roles. The group recognizes that building a community of healthy and informed youth is vital to the sustainability and improvement of our community. The group is sponsored by Hanover Cares Coalition and Hanover County Community Services Board. Teens Care Too meets monthly and coordinates awareness projects and activities that promote healthy alternatives to drug and alcohol use.
Who can apply for Teens Care Too?
Rising 9th through 12th grade students who live in and/or attend school in Hanover County, Virginia may apply by completing an application and submitting a recommendation form.
What is the commitment?
All members are expected to attend and participate in at least 7 of the 12 monthly meetings. Meetings are scheduled the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00pm-8:30pm.
How are applications reviewed?
The advisors of Teens Care Too will assign each application a number and remove any obvious identifying information from the application. Applications are then blindly screened and scored using a rubric by a panel of TC2 members. Responses that thoroughly and directly address the points in the question, are well-organized, and effectively communicate with the panel members will score the most points.
How are new members selected?
The highest scoring applicants will be invited to the Group Interview. All candidates must attend the interview to be considered for membership. Please make note of the following dates when determining your ability to participate with TC2. Once selected, as long as you are a member in good standing, your membership is automatically renewed each school year.
