--- title: The Launch Pad Teen Center Blog | Lia Killeen description: Lia moved to Prescott in 2016 after living on a nature preserve in Southern Arizona during her early childhood. Lia became involved with The Launch Pad in 2022 after joining the Teen Advisory Council to participate in their Better Together Campaign. She is a member of the 2024 graduating class at Prescott High School and enjoys reading, spending time with family, and exploring the outdoors in her free time. After graduation, Lia intends to pursue a degree in anthropology, using what she has learned during the Better Together Campaign to further explore the values that bind people together. --- [Skip to content](https://blog.thelaunchpadteencenter.org/author/lia-killeen#main-content) [![](https://blog.thelaunchpadteencenter.org/hs-fs/hubfs/TLP-logo-with-blog-1.jpg?width=625&height=124&name=TLP-logo-with-blog-1.jpg)](https://blog.thelaunchpadteencenter.org/) - [Back to Main Website](https://thelaunchpadteencenter.org/) Open main navigation Close main navigation - [Back to Main Website](https://thelaunchpadteencenter.org/) - [DONATE](https://thelaunchpadteencenter.org/donate/) [DONATE](https://thelaunchpadteencenter.org/donate/) # The Launch Pad Blog The latest news and upcoming events and opportunities for teens!
