Teen Health 360
Empowering teens to make informed decisions about their relationships, health, and well-being.
Teen Health 360
Open Call Community Engagement Initiative
From 2021 to 2024, we hosted three crowdsourced open calls to engage teens and community members in open dialogues about healthy relationships and effective communication. Winning submissions received prizes and were featured across platforms to support teen health programs.
The 2025 Open Call invites original, teen-centered ideas to promote inclusive, stigma-free dialogues about teen sexual health and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We believe that amplifying diverse teen and community voices can drive real change for health impact.

About the program
Studies show that medically accurate, evidence-based and age-appropriate program services for school age youth can delay sexual initiation, reduce risky sexual behaviors and reduce sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancies. The Teen Health 360 program is housed in the Community Health and Research Division of Pediatrics. Together with community partners in Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore, we aim to empower teens to make informed decisions about their relationships, health, and well-being.
