The SheKnows Teen Council is a selective group of more than 100 engaged Gen Z members, ages 14-20, who partner with SheKnows and other SHE Media and affiliated Penske Media brands (like Billboard and Beauty Inc) to create impactful content across digital and live platforms.
By sharing personal stories, participating in surveys, focus groups, and unique media opportunities — including article contributions, video shoots, and career mentorship — the Council provides an authentic look into the lives of today’s teens and young adults.
SheKnows’s Teen Council gives Gen Z a chance to make their voices heard — and gives parents a candid perspective on this generation, helping them better understand and connect with their emerging adults in an authentic way.
