Did You Know? A 7 Cups Facts Series: #20 (ATL)
An Adult-Teen Listener (ATL) is a specially trained volunteer who provides support to teen members. By becoming an ATL, adults gain access to the teen side of the community, where they can conduct one-on-one listening sessions and participate in teen member group chats to help youth feel heard. In addition to helping members, ATLs also support teen listeners by sharing their experiences and resources. Because adults have already navigated the confusing and challenging teenage years themselves, they are uniquely positioned to offer valuable guidance, comfort, and stability to youth who might not know who else to reach out to.
