JAX Teen Alliance was started in the summer of 2007 to focus on creating dialogue opportunities among teenagers that would build trust and understanding between diverse groups of people and overcome any differences (and learn to accept and appreciate those differences) by working together on a common cause. It is an opportunity for Jacksonville, Florida's youth to cross social, economic, racial, ethnic, and physical boundaries to come together to act as agents of social change.

JAX Teen Alliance is a teen-led effort that is by teens, for teens. Our purpose is to build a sustainable, replicable coalition of youth and give them the tools to be heard by the entire community. Our dialogues lead to action and change so we can provide a viable future for tomorrow's youth. Some of these issues are better education in our schools, better pay for teachers, stopping prejudice and stereotyping and combating crime and violence.

JAXTA has frequent meetings and we encourage anyone who is interested to attend. Meeting dates will be updated on this website. (read less)
