Who We Are
Every Teen Has A Neighbor aims to connect students with community support and to help students by connecting them with the people and resources that they need, when they need it.
We believe that every student should have safe spaces to be fully loved and thoughtfully heard.
Our Core Values:
Think kid-first – Do what is best for students, not simply what is easiest.
Break down barriers – Together, overcome the stigmas of needing help and fight for the path unknown.
Lead with love – Approach people with non-judgement and genuine compassion.

Who We Serve
Every Teen Has A Neighbor Foundation was born out of grief for the loss of a beloved student.
Ethan Ergen was loved by his family, friends, teachers, and neighbors! As an educator, my goal has always been to reach the students who need extra love and care and to do what is best for my students. This foundation aims to fill a gap in our community, one that is so needed in rural America.
Every Teen Has A Neighbor aims to help prevent the tragic loss of students to suicide by creating connections for students, offering resources to them, and arming them with knowledge and love.
