WE SUPPORT CHICAGO TEENS.

For 35+ years, selling teen art has been part of After School Matters' mission to celebrate and advocate for young people. TEENMADE is a brand that highlights the creative work of Chicago teens in ASM programs.  

In each session, teens produce incredible work across various disciplines, and TEENMADE is excited to showcase their talent through our online shop and pop-up events.  

100% of TEENMADE revenue is reinvested back into ASM programs, supporting future artists and entrepreneurs as they explore their creativity and plan for their futures.   

WHY GET INVOLVED? 

  • TEENMADE highlights ASM teens’ skills and talent in a variety of programs 
  • TEENMADE awards teens for exemplary performance with recognition that can be used for education or job applications 
  • TEENMADE offers the opportunity for conversations about entrepreneurship 
  • TEENMADE provides a next-level opportunity for young creatives 

WE PAY OUR TEEN ARTISTS. 

Every teen in an After School Matters program receives a financial stipend for their participation, highlighting the value of their time and efforts. Our expert instructors provide a meaningful experience for growth, helping teens explore their potential and shape their futures. Each piece in the TEENMADE shop is crafted by these paid teen artists, and we reinvest 100% of TEENMADE revenue back into ASM programs.
