Teens from around El Dorado County are working together to create content for the new Web site www.Teenzhub.com, sponsored by the Vision Coalition of El Dorado Hills.

“This new Web site is intended to become a local information source that lets teens know about where to get help if needed, job information and what to do this weekend,” said Richard Wilson, founder of Sentium Strategic Communications, who is developing the site. “We're hoping Teenzhub.com will become the center of the El Dorado teen universe.”

Currently, teams of teens and adults are working to acquire the starter content before the site goes live. An amazing amount of time and research is required to get as complete a set of information as possible. Some of the key topic areas to be included are: Things to Do, Places to Go, Getting Help, Finding Jobs and Teen News.

One of the largest groups of teen news reporters in local history is being assembled and trained to provide news content for Teenzhub.com. The goal is to have reporters from each high school and middle school in the region providing content. The plan is to have the site up and active this fall.
