Carpe Juvenis Information

Carpe Juvenis (CarpeJuvenis.com) is an online publication and community for youth who are determined to make their dreams a reality, who are striving to be better leaders, and who are not just seizing the day, but seizing their youth. In Latin, Carpe means “seize” and Juvenis stands for “youth.” Together, Carpe Juvenis represents the phrase: “Seize your youth.” Designed to empower and inspire youth to stretch beyond their limits and accomplish great things, Carpe Juvenis provides encouraging information and a supportive community. Carpe Juvenis emphasizes the importance of living fully in the present while also being smart about the future and making decisions that will be beneficial later down the road. The Carpe Juvenis community consists of driven teenagers and young adults who are ambitious in their endeavors and are set on creating a positive impact in their schools and communities – locally, nationally, and globally. Launched in 2013 by Lauren Jessen and Catherine Jessen, Carpe Juvenis offers advice and articles about topics that inspire youth to make the most of their time.
