"Honestly I love being a teenior. I love the people I've met and the relationships I've built just by helping someone learn something that might be common knowledge to me, but is harder for them to grasp. I realize now that I see a lot of my own family in the people I work with... and when I'm working as a teenior, even with someone I just met, I feel that same bond as I do with family. There really is a gap between baby boomers and the technology generation but I feel like technology is what can bring us together. " - Teenior Winter Cleland |
"This is the best idea in the world. It was worth a million dollars to me. I believe there’s a huge market out there for Teeniors and for people like me. The differences between the generations can seem so vast but we come together so beautifully. The kids need jobs, we need help, and Teeniors connects us up.” - Lynn Whelan, Corrales NM |

"Oh my God. I'm so glad I learned about Teeniors. We were lost. Chris is a jewel. Nothing stumps that guy. He knows so much. He's so patient. He knows all these code numbers and all this stuff to help me with my website. We have become great friends! I've been around a long time and the most important thing to me is whether you can trust someone. This kid is now our friend. He is a jewel." - Sadhu Phillips
"What a fantastic business! I am so very happy a young woman started this business. My teenior was beyond great. He was so fantastically fast, polite, logical and creative. He also was able to explain very succinctly and clearly... He solved all my problems. Thanks so much!"

What I've Learned While Interning at Teeniors
by Intern Mauricio Gutierrez
I'm Mauricio Gutierrez, a student at South Valley Academy. I was a sophomore when I first went to Teeniors, but I am currently a junior.
I've been interning at Teeniors for a while now, working on the website and social media. I have chosen Teeniors as my service learning site for two years in a row now, and it has been great. Why I chose this site the first time around was because I like working with technology and had experience in making/developing websites. I chose it again because Teeniors was a great place to intern at! I learned a lot last year, working in a pretty cool office space like Fat Pipe, and I got to work on the website and help manage Teeniors' social media.
What I've learned at Teeniors has helped me in my goal to become more of a professional and formal person, like maintaining eye contact with people when talking, as I was shy. Giving firm handshakes and speaking politely to clients over the phone, as some people had previously told me I was aggressive. I also have learned to take notes in meetings, to look back to them when needed, and plenty more. Teeniors is awesome. It has taught me lots of things I may have not learned anywhere else, and has given me confidence. I love what they do, providing back to the community by offering help with technology for seniors, empowering them, and providing teens with jobs. It has provided me with a great intern experience.
