We are ConnecTeens.
We are a Romanian student-led collective helping teenagers explore careers through conferences, practical workshops, and communities built around shared interests.
Student-run, mentor-backed, and built around doing the work.
ConnecTeens is a student-run organization creating youth events and conferences that help high school students identify their interests, meet people already working in those fields, and test possible career paths for themselves.
