The mission of the Teens Igniting Change Association (TICA)is to help teens emerge from their cocoon and emerge as a beautiful butterfly by nurturing their artistic gifts, while simultaneously being an additional guide in their journey beyond high school by providing opportunities for higher education and artistic development.

FOUNDER

​

TICA was created in 2011 Lauren “Doriahna” Walker. TICA celebrates the unique artistic gifts of teens, while offering opportunities for personal growth and educational opportunities for teens ages 13-18. Our organization gives teens the tools and the platform to have their talents nurtured, while building a solid foundation rooted in high self-esteem, self-confidence, unity, and diversity. TICA promotes opportunities for teens to pursue higher education through our scholarship workshops. TICA hosts the following workshops for our member’s success: scholarship workshops, etiquette classes, media workshops, acting classes, owning the stage workshops and community service opportunities.

Welcome to our world! The future is now!
