Students from Guam Community College and Simon Sanchez High School are teaming up with Junior Achievement Guam to launch the first-ever RISE Teen Expo this Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Agana Shopping Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

RISE, which stands for Reimagine, Innovate, Strive, and Empower, is a free event created for teens, by teens, aimed at inspiring and empowering the island’s youth. 

Students from across Guam are invited to enjoy a full day of learning, entertainment, and prizes.

Highlights include college, career, and military booths, the launch of JA Company Products for 2025, live performances, and a teen fashion show. 

A Car Show hosted by the GCC and SSHS Automotive and Trades Club will also feature prizes and collect donations for Harvest House.

Teens can earn Service-Learning Hours and compete in the School Pride Challenge, where the campus with the most attendees will win a $1,000 cash prize.

The expo will also offer resource booths focused on mental health, drug and alcohol prevention, tobacco awareness, and suicide prevention.
