About Us

Carolyn Considine believes her generation must play an active role in driving fundamental social change. About to enter her junior year of high school, Carolyn is the co-founder of a national nonprofit called Meaningful Teens, an organization that provides remote literacy services to hundreds of underserved children and adults across the country. Meaningful Teens partners with many other nonprofits, including Mercy Housing, one of the nation's largest low-income housing organizations. Among other publications, Carolyn was profiled on the Difference Maker segment by KCBS radio and served as one of five panelists interviewed on the California Governor's Office of Volunteering webinar. Separately, Carolyn is the first-ever youth advisor on the Contra Costa County Arts Commission, where she develops art advocacy content for today's youth. During her tenure, Carolyn built a virtual art gallery during COVID that housed artwork from over 100 youth artists across 25 high schools across the county, led a collaborative youth art effort called Project We, and developed the Justice Murals program. Carolyn conceptualized the Justice Murals program as a vehicle for students to showcase their authentic view of social justice through collaborative art. Carolyn hopes that Justice Murals will inspire others in her generation to have their voices heard on this important societal topic. As Carolyn is fond of saying, we can overcome anything in society when we adopt a "we, not me" mentality.
