You only have one meta tag word, which is 'lead' and it's very broad. Inserting more keywords will help your results. The search engine game is hard to get used to, just have to play along and experiement.
Some suggested keywords:
lead teen, teen organization, Lane County, Lane County Oregon, Lane County teen
Remember to only use words up to three times and create different meta tag phrases for each page.

I went to your site today, it looks like you have taken it offline. I went to Google and typed site:www.leadteen.com and found that two of your pages were indexed by Google, both on November 28th. Wierd thing, Google didn't have a copy of your index page. Are you having troubles keeping your site online?

Your url should be referenced in all places as http://www.leadteen.com/. That URL was last crawled by Google Dec 18, 2004. If I type that url in Google and Yahoo, you are there. You have a PR of 3. So the issue is not that you aren't listed. I think maybe you are not showing up in the SERP where you think you should.
Keywords are an issue. Some are good, some are not. You should use wordtracker (free trial) to help you select good words that aren't so competitive. Once you have identified those use them in your tags, content, text links, etc.
One thing I notice right away is that you aren't using or tags at all. The title tag does not contain keywords and you have a lot of empty alt tags. All of these are opportunities to use your targeted keywords (without spamming). Change all your references from http to http://www. That way your receiving full credit to 1 URL.
If you are familiar with CSS, I would suggest using it to clean up the HTML a bit. Once this is in place you will have to be paitent and see what feedback the search engines give you so you'll know where to tweak next. You could check here for some information on how to improve search engine placement.
