Teens for Our World
Uniting Local Efforts for Global Change
At our core, we are a compassionate and driven non-profit organization dedicated to empowering teenagers as agents of positive change. Our mission is twofold: to provide relief and support to victims of political conflict and those living in the depths of extreme poverty. Through creative fundraising initiatives, education, and awareness campaigns, we aim to channel the boundless energy and potential of young minds towards alleviating the suffering of the most vulnerable. Additionally, we believe in fostering empathy and global understanding among our members. Thus, we facilitate life-changing journeys for our members to directly engage with the communities they strive to assist. By combining our fundraising endeavors with on-the-ground experiences, we strive to create a generation of empathetic leaders who are not only dedicated to making a difference but also possess a deep understanding of the intricate challenges faced by our global neighbors. We currently have over 30 volunteer members.
ABOUT US
Our organization's roots can be traced back to the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war with a goal to establish a non-profit with a dual mission: to provide aid to the war's victims and to actively engage American teenagers in this cause. Through creative fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and educational programs, they harnessed the energy of youth to offer support and compassion to those in political conflict and extreme poverty. Beyond financial aid, the organization initiated a program sending members to the affected regions, creating personal connections and fostering empathy. This history of unwavering commitment has not only brought relief to those in need but has also cultivated a generation of empathetic global citizens who understand that even in challenging times, unity and compassion can drive positive change.
WHAT WE DO
Welcome to our organization, where our multifaceted approach drives our mission forward. At our core, we focus on three pivotal avenues of impact. Firstly, we champion education and fundraising through dynamic events and curated pop-up shops, creating engaging platforms to raise awareness and vital resources. Secondly, we translate these funds into action, procuring essential supplies and medical equipment that play a tangible role in alleviating the challenges faced by those in need. Lastly, our commitment extends to transformative experiences - we empower our dedicated members through immersive mission trips to nations seeking substantial aid. Our journey has taken us to Moldova, where we assisted Ukrainian refugees, and to Liberia, leaving lasting footprints of positive change. As we continue to evolve, our tri-fold strategy remains the cornerstone of our unwavering pledge to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Our Founder
Aaron Ferber
My mission is to provide a platform and opportunities for American teens to help others in need around the world. I believe many high school students have a false idea that it is very difficult to make a difference for others who live far away. By offering events to encourage students to get involved, I hope t0 inspire teens and show them that they don't have to travel thousands of miles to make a difference.
