UPMC CCP is lucky to have an amazing group of Teen Ambassadors who are paving the way for other teens in the community. The ambassador program is made up of teens from all different backgrounds, interests and school districts throughout Pa.
Despite their many differences, our teen ambassadors all have something in common: being a teen. They each have faced, or are currently facing, things like: puberty, bullying, peer pressure, anxiety, and more.
We launched the program so that teens like you would have a place to go to have your questions answered about teen-specific issues. The good, the bad and the awkward. When you want answers, simply turn to our YouTube channel, Navigating Teen Life library, or @navigatingteenlife (Instragram). You’ll also have a chance to see our teen ambassadors out and about in the community.
