Teens Dream
Our annual Teens Dream video challenge launches at our Fall Celebration on October 3rd, 2026! Join us for inspiration from past winners and for the announcement of the 2027 prizes! The challenge is free to enter and open to teen changemakers ages 13-19 from anywhere in the world. Full guidelines will be released soon, stay tuned! Teens Dream is the initial project of the Global Co Lab Network. Inspired by Martin Luther King and created by a group of teens and adults including Jackie Abramowitz, Theodore Ammon, Aysha Nunes, and Aidan Holland. Every year volunteer teen and adult judges meet to ensure that the global competition is managed and scored professionally. Our Media Partner Turkish American TV also selects “staff picks” of excellent videos that it recognizes with special awards! If you are interested in learning more about how to engage with Teens Dream contact us at staff@globalcolab.net.
