The mission of the Teens Igniting Change Association (TICA) is to help teens transform their potential into reality by nurturing their artistic talents and guiding them toward higher education and personal growth. Our goal is to support teens in their journey from high school to their future endeavors, fostering their development into confident, capable individuals.
