What is Teen Connects?
Teen Connects is a platform that connects members of the community in need of services with local teens willing to complete these tasks. This website provides an opportunity for local high school students to contribute their skills, gain valuable work experience, and make some money in the process. We hope to remove some of the burden off everyday chores within our community! Our goal is to form and strengthen the connection within the Montville community and reach out to as many families who are willing to trust and support local teens!
My Story
Hi! My name is Abhay Nagar and I am going into my senior year at Montville Township High school. During my freshman summer, I wanted to get a job to gain real world experience, make some money, and occupy my free time. However, I was only 15 years old. Since most jobs require you to be at least a certain age, I struggled looking for a job. Once my sophomore year rolled around, I noticed that my friends were struggling with the same problem I was and were also looking for work. My mother also notified me that many people were requesting help to complete services such as, baby sitting or dog walking, on Facebook. This is when I came up with the idea of Teen Connects. Since there are not many teens on Facebook, I decided to create a platform where people who are requesting services can interact and communicate directly with teens. This website was designed to assist teens in finding jobs to gain experience as well as fulfill the needs of my local community.
