What is this movement about?
Teens leading with purpose
Founded by the 2025 Varsity Tennis Team and spreading island-wide, the Angel Warriors guide younger teens through peer modeling and create alternative weekend activities — events, entertainment, speakers, and art — in partnership with Nantucket's most esteemed venues and local businesses.
We are Nantucket teens on a mission. We are Angel Warrior Messengers with a plan. We are Angel Warriors fighting to make young lives better. Carpe Diem.
