Being at the CanTeen is good for my physical and mental health. It makes me happy.

The CanTeen pretty much means everything to me. The CanTeen has helped me in so many ways. Without the CanTeen, I would not be going to college. The CanTeen also helped me get a job. Just being at the CanTeen and talking with other teens and adults makes me feel like I belong.

The CanTeen is like NYC. People with different stories and backgrounds come in and that is what I truly love about the program.

The CanTeen is my home away from home.

To me the CanTeen is a place I can escape the stresses and reality of the world we live in right now. Being there is refreshing, and I know I won’t be judged or made to be feel lost.
