Where Curious Minds
Become Changemakers
LinkTeen is where teens interview experts, publish research, and create knowledge for one another — across every field, every country. Free forever, built by a teen.
“We believe every teenager deserves access to opportunity — not just those with the right school, city, or connections. LinkTeen exists to connect ambitious students with mentors, educational resources, and one another.”
Together.
Whether you're publishing research, launching a nonprofit, competing in debate, building an app, or exploring any field — LinkTeen is where your story grows.
Connect
Meet students from around the world who share your interests. Build meaningful friendships and professional relationships across 5+ countries.
Learn
Read interviews researched and conducted by teen members. Every conversation comes with takeaways, resources, and a way to go deeper.
Build
Interview an expert in your field. Write for LinkTeen Voices. Publish research. Build something and document it. Create knowledge, not just content.
Give Back
Leadership isn't about collecting awards. Every member is encouraged to mentor, teach, and create opportunities for others.
“I started LinkTeen because I realized how difficult it was for students to find meaningful opportunities, mentors, and peers who shared their passions. Too often, where you're born or who you know determines what opportunities you see. I believe it shouldn't.”
A publication created
by students, for students
Members publish research, personal stories, career explorations, and expert interviews — reviewed for quality before publishing.

Teen members research, conduct, and write every interview. Upcoming fields:
