Urban Teen Scene magazine makes its mark with teens across the U.S. & Canada with a magazine that is truly FOR TEENS, BY TEENS".

Long Island, New York: Fueled by the passion and talent of teens around the country, Urban Teen Scene has created the perfect fusion between social issues and significant teen interests, such as celebrities, music, fashion, beauty, gear and technology.

Urban Teen Scene is not afraid to address and conquer the tough issues affecting teens today. What better way to bring awareness to teens, issues such as AIDS, teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, obesity, self-esteem, war and other pertinent topics, than through the voice of their peers?

Over 75% of the editorial content in UTS is researched, written, & reported on by urban teens. Participating teens not only have a voice, but also learn valuable skill sets like writing, interviewing, researching, polling, thinking objectively and organizing their thoughts and ideas in ways that can be easily communicated to others.

In an environment that is cluttered with magazines geared toward our delicate and impressionable teen audience, Urban Teen Scene does a phenomenal job of providing clean entertainment for urban-minded teens in a way that allows them to see images that are a true reflection of themselves, their interests, and their culture.
