Last week, our S.T.E.A.M. campers focused on… RISE OF THE ACADEMY! 🦸✨

Week 1 was all about stepping into superhero mode by building skills, creativity, and confidence along the way. Our campers spent the week strengthening their reading comprehension and bringing their imaginations to life through hands‑on projects like:

🦸‍♀️ Creating their own superhero capes, shields, masks, and figures
🏙️ Building paper cities
🌉 Engineering popsicle‑stick bridges
🏠 Designing superhero safe houses
🪂 And even testing out parachutes!

We loved watching their ideas take shape and seeing them work together like true heroes in training. Here’s to an amazing start to summer! ❤️

Last Friday was all about our seniors, and what a beautiful celebration it was. ❤️✨

To our Class of 2026: thank you for everything you’ve brought to Teen Lounge, Youth Advisory Board, and L.O.V.E. Over these past few years, you’ve shown us leadership, kindness, laughter, and so much heart. You’ve helped shape this space into a community, and we’re better because of you.

We’re so proud of each of you and excited for everything ahead. Congratulations, seniors, and best of luck on your next chapter. You’ll always have a home here. 🎓

Teen Lounge has a way of bringing the right people together at the right time, and welcoming Gabby into our community has been one of those moments we’re grateful for. ❤️

Gabby shared that her favorite part of joining the Teen Lounge has been the people and the sense of community. It's the laughter during games, the chaos of karaoke, the shared meals, and all the small moments that made Teen Lounge feel like a place she belonged.

After graduation, Gabby will be heading to Florida A&M University, and we’re so excited to see her step into this next chapter with the same courage and openness she’s shown here.

She’s taking one lesson with her into adulthood: to not be afraid to try new things and step outside of her comfort zone. And honestly, watching her grow into that mindset has been one of the best parts of having her here.

Gabby, thank you for the joy, the warmth, and the way you’ve helped make Teen Lounge feel like home. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see all the places you’ll go. ❤️✨

Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for Senior Night and our End‑of‑Year Bash to help us celebrate Gabby and all of our incredible seniors!

Today, we’re celebrating someone whose presence has shaped Teen Lounge in the most meaningful way: Charlisse. ❤️

Charlisse recently shared with us that her favorite part of Teen Lounge and being an East Orlando Youth Advisory Board Member has been making friends who genuinely feel like family, people she loves deeply, and who love her right back. And if you know Charlisse, you know she pours her whole heart into the people around her.

After graduation, she plans to attend the University of Central Florida to become a Mental Health Counselor, and we can already picture her thriving in that role.

One lesson she’s taking with her into adulthood is the importance of making people feel welcome, because, as she said, “it goes a long way.” And she’s right. She’s lived that out here in the most beautiful way.

Charlisse, thank you for the love, the leadership, and the heart you’ve brought to L.O.V.E. You’ve made a lasting impact on this space and the people in it, and we’re cheering you on as you step into this next chapter. ❤️✨

Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for Senior Night and our End‑of‑Year Bash to help us celebrate Charlisse and all of our incredible seniors!

Some seniors leave an impact that feels bigger than the role they held, and Zariah is one of those people. ❤️

She recently shared with us what made her join the Youth Advisory Board, and it was because she wanted to get involved in something meaningful… something that aligned with her values and her heart for teens, especially around mental health. From day one, she showed up with intention, compassion, and a desire to make things better for others.

Her favorite part of being involved has been the meetings with her fellow board members. She said there was always a good time at meetings, and if you’ve ever been in the room with her, you know she brings warmth and connection wherever she goes.

After graduation, Zariah will be attending Florida State University to pursue Psychology, with plans to continue her education and become a neuropsychologist.

When we asked what makes this program special to her, she told us how much she’s grown since joining in February 2024, and how the board has become like a family. The meetings, the events, the lounges, the laughs, the love… all memories she’ll carry with her long after graduation.

Zariah, thank you for your heart, your leadership, and the way you’ve shown up for others. You’ve made a lasting impact on this program and on the teens who needed someone exactly like you. We’re so proud of you and so excited for everything ahead. ❤️✨

Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for Senior Night and our End‑of‑Year Bash to help us celebrate Zariah and all of our incredible seniors!

Some students walk into Teen Lounge quietly… and end up showing us what growth really looks like. Carlo is one of those students. ❤️

When we asked him what made him join, he shared that he wanted to give back to his community while building his communication skills, especially because he was soft‑spoken before he joined. Watching him step into leadership, speak up, and connect with others has been one of the most inspiring parts of having him here.

After graduation, Carlo will be attending the University of Central Florida to major in electrical engineering, and we’re so proud of the path he’s choosing. His curiosity, discipline, and quiet determination are going to take him so far.

One lesson he’s carrying with him into adulthood is that stepping out of his comfort zone can lead to so much growth, which, honestly, he’s already proven to be true.

Carlo, thank you for the heart, the effort, and the steady leadership you’ve brought to Teen Lounge. You’ve made a real impact here, and we’re cheering you on as you take this next step. ❤️✨

Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for Senior Night and our End‑of‑Year Bash to help us celebrate Carlo and all of our incredible seniors!

With this being the last full week of school, we wanted to take some time to celebrate our seniors, and we're starting with the incredible Kristina. ❤️

We recently asked her what made her join Teen Lounge, and she said it was the wonderful people and the positive atmosphere. And, from our point of view, that's exactly what she helped create for others... a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and seen.

Her favorite part of being involved was volunteering at events and spending Teen Lounge days with her friends. 🥹

Following graduation, Kristina is heading to Schiller International University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy, and we couldn’t be more proud.

When we asked what this program has meant to her, she shared that it helped her make new friends and connections that will stay with her for life, and that she’s had so much fun being part of all the events and Teen Lounge days.

Kristina, thank you for the joy, the kindness, and the steady presence you’ve brought to L.O.V.E. You’ve made a lasting impact, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way. ❤️✨

Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for Senior Night and our End‑of‑Year Bash to help us celebrate Kristina and all of our incredible seniors!
