TEENS IN ACTION provides free programs to teens, ages 12 - 21, living in low-income apartment communities or attending low-performing DISD schools. Teens in Action provides these youth with high-adventure group activities that teach them to make good decisions and develop positive peer relationships. 

Teens in Action offers workforce development programs that provide job skills training, character development and employment opportunities to at-risk youth.

During the regular school year, this program allows members to learn valuable job skills through real-world experiences (job shadowing, interning, college visits, etc.). In the summer, this program also provides many of these teens with employment opportunities through

Camp Fire USA and its community partners.

In 2003, this program was awarded a "Certificate of Appreciation" from the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) for its work in these communities.
