Jenna Ortega Kicks Off Teens for Jeans Campaign!

Jenna Ortega is helping to kick of this year’s Teens for Jeans campaign!

The 17-year-old actress, as well as Sky Katz, Olivia Sanabia and Adam Irigoyen, teamed up with DoSomething.org and Aéropostale for the denim drive, which has collected 5 million pairs of jeans to date.

Donations to the drive, which helps clothe homeless youth, can be made at Aéropostale stores through February 29th.

“Youth homelessness isn’t something you can always see. We might not realize it, but for so many of us, our friends and classmates may leave school and go to a shelter, not a home. Talking to people who are my age, near my hometown, who have overcome homelessness was powerful and inspiring. I’m immensely proud to be a part of ‘Teens for Jeans’ and help students make a difference for young people in their communities,” Jenna said in a statement.

Jenna also visited SafeHouse of the Desert, where she talk to the shelter’s director and two amazing young people to learn about about their experiences and how to get involved. Check it out below…
