T.R. and Carla Dunn
Co-Founders
T.R. and Carla Dunn have always had a passion for working with teens. In serving as youth pastors and raising four sons, they discovered that these critical years are often when youth need guidance and support the most. During 2020, the year of the pandemic, they received a calling - to start an organization that would develop teens into leaders and help them be heard in a society that doesn't always listen.
While praying about the what, when and how, T.R. was reading Philippians 4:13 and the message was clear: 4thirTEEN was born, with the tagline TEENS DOING ALL THINGS.
Since its inception, 4thirTEEN has allowed T.R. and Carla to pour into the lives of hundreds of young people in our region.
Carla Says: 4thirTEEN is about collaboration, not competition. There is a place for all organizations serving teens in our community, and by working together we can truly help them do all things.
T.R. Says: Through 4thirTEEN, I am the GPS and teens are the drivers on this road to the next phase of their life, adulthood.
