Your Vibe. Your crew. Your Haven.
Hang Haven
Where Confidence & Connection Begin
Welcome to Hang Haven!
Built by a Teen, for Teens
Hang Haven is a media and community platform designed by a teen for teens and tween girls who want more than just scrolling and surface-level content.
Through books, podcasts, social media, and local hangouts, we’re creating a trusted ecosystem where we can explore who we are, build leadership skills, and connect with others who share our passions.
Our upcoming Hang Haven app will make it even easier to discover safe, fun, and inspiring local hangouts - turning online connection into real-world friendship and adventure.
Every story we tell, every event we host, and every partnership we build reflects one simple idea: when girls are seen and supported, they grow into leaders who change the world.

Discover your Spots
Coming soon: the Hang Haven app - your guide to safe, fun, and parent-approved hangouts in your city. From cozy cafés to creative studios, the app helps you find real places to spend time, recharge, and connect offline. We’re starting in the DC Metro area and growing from there, one community at a time. Because the best moments happen when you find your spot, and your people, in the real world.
Description: Noreen thought surviving freshman year would be about fitting in. She didn't expect to learn more about power, influence, and resilience from cafeteria drama than most people learn in business school. Told through Noreen's authentic teen voice, this novel proves that the skills you need to navigate manipulative friends, group costume disasters, and lunchroom politics are the same ones that make great leaders.
Fiction that entertains. Leadership that sticks.

Voices for Change & Giving Back
At Hang Haven, leadership isn’t just about what you achieve - it’s about how you use your voice. We believe real change starts when girls speak up, step forward, and lift others along the way.
Because every voice has the power to create change - and when girls lead, communities grow stronger.
