About Us
"Over the past years, the teen task force has been an essential key to connecting with my community—especially through the Period Poverty Relief project. The people that I've worked with and the relations that I've made during this incredible journey are the speical part about contributing to society. I'm so proud that we've come so far and can't wait to create new memories and experience what's to come!"

The Hackley Task Force
A branch of the Greenburgh Teen Task Force at the Hackley School. Our mission is to expose students to a wide variety of community service opportunities and to help them find projects that they are passionate about. Projects include hygiene kits, snack packs, and menstruation kits for underprivileged teens and children. We also participate in outside-of-school events run by our parent organization the Greenburgh Teen Task Force and other local organizations throughout Westchester.
