Tickets are $30 for general admission or $50 for a two-ticket deal and can be purchased online at teenworks.org/tot-fw .
“Taste of TeenWorks is more than just a tasting event — it’s a celebration of our teens’ hard work, resilience and growth,” said Nick Duvall, President & CEO at TeenWorks. “You’ll get to hear their stories, connect with community partners and experience firsthand how TeenWorks is shaping the future of Fort Wayne’s youth.”
TeenWorks is a nonprofit organization that empowers teens to excel in community, college and career. Its flagship Summer Program offers high school students a paid six-week job focused on personal and professional growth. But the TeenWorks journey doesn’t end there. Through long-term, wraparound support that spans high school through postsecondary education, TeenWorks equips youth with real-world experience, life skills and a strong foundation for career success.
In 2024, 75 Fort Wayne teens served six local nonprofits through TeenWorks. In 2025, the program expanded to support 100 teens and eight nonprofit partners.
