Teens United!
Teens United (TU) is an area organized by members of Oasis Center’s International Teen Outreach Program (ITOP), which is made up of immigrant, refugee, and New American youth from Nashville.
Teens United has been an important part of the Celebrate Nashville Cultural Festival for many years, and this year Teens United can be found at Coleman Community Center handing out APARTy Kits. The teens made their own special contributions to the celebration with items they curated and made for the bag.
