Summer Interns in the TeenTix Office!!!

Wouldn't you know it? Summer is a BUSY time for TeenTix - mainly because school isn't in session, so it's the best time for YOU to get out and enjoy all the arts and sunshine that our city has to offer! Which makes total sense. This city is amazing.

So, summer is like overdrive at TeenTix HQ - we're working away, making sure our calendar entries are up-to-date with all the most important information to make it as easy as possible for you to whip out your TeenTix pass around the clock until school starts up again. (Need a TeenTix Pass? Or maybe you lost it and need a replacement?)

Even though we don't magically get a bunch of summertime ca$h to pay new staff members to do all this extra work, we are #blessed with a group of SUPER AMAZING DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS that sign on to do a summer internship and who spend 10 - 30 hours a week here in the office - or put in significant volunteer time with TeenTix. Check out the folks below who help us make what we do even better - we TRULY couldn't do it without them!

Also a special shout-out to former TeenTix Members and New Guardians who come back to us on their breaks from college to help out - Elizabeth Van Flandern and Caroline Healey!

Aliha Strange, Administrative Intern - helping around the office and keeping us caught up on the TeenTix Calendar! Aliha has been involved in theater since age 13, started using her TeenTix pass during high-school, and misses it now that she's aged out - she's currently in her senior year at Seattle Pacific University in Global Development Studies.

Essence Green, Outreach Intern - helping to design new ways to talk to teens in communities all over Seattle about TeenTix!

Essence is a dancer and performer - having done two plays with TeenTix partner organization Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute.
