Closing the education gap with academic mentoring, leadership programs, and summer camps for underserved youth.
Kids in our community are getting left behind. Our mentoring programs are here to change that.
Too many children in our community are falling through the cracks in our education system. Over 60% of them are leaving school without basic math or English skills, and many come from homes where trauma or poverty is a daily reality.
Without extra help, they start to lose hope. These kids need more than academics—they need someone to show up, day after day, to remind them they matter. That’s what we provide. By stepping in with consistent academic mentorship and emotional support, we’re providing the guidance they need to catch up, feel valued, and see a way forward. Want to get involved?
Mentoring & Leadership programs giving every kid a fair shot
Our academic mentorship, leadership programs, and summer camps do more than just help kids with school. We want them to feel seen and heard, and to know they matter. Through mentorship, hands-on projects, and emotional support, our mentors help kids tackle challenges, grow their skills, and see what they’re really capable of.

Passionate mentors pouring love, hope & inspiration into kids’ hearts.
Founded by former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Andy Schindling, The Complete Player started as a way to mentor kids through sports.
However, as Andy saw the more significant needs in the community, TCP evolved into something much more. Now, we’re focused on helping kids in Northern Anne Arundel County not just with academics but with life skills, emotional guidance, and leadership training. Over the years, we’ve grown from sports-based youth programs to a full range of services that help kids build confidence, succeed in school, and create real opportunities for themselves.
Your support can change a child’s life
With your help, we’re giving kids in our community the love, support, and guidance they need to chase their dreams, no matter their circumstances.
Your gift, their future
See the impact our mentorship programs have made
Since 2018, we have worked with over 1,000 youth living in northern Anne Arundel County and South Baltimore City, MD. More than 70% of them have made huge improvements in math and reading. Together, TCP students have served over 800 homeless adults and foster youth and picked up over 500 pounds of litter.
Helping kids catch up
We help kids improve their math and reading skills, making school feel less overwhelming.
Growing confidence
We celebrate the small wins and empower our kids to believe in themselves.
Creating safe spaces
Kids need a safe environment to grow emotionally and mentally—and that’s what we provide.
Breaking the cycle
We’re giving kids the tools they need to break out of tough situations and build a future full of opportunity.
Developing strong leaders
Kids learn best by doing. Through real-world projects, we help them see they can make a difference.
Showing up, no matter what
Kids need someone they can count on, and that’s us. We’re there for them, every single day.

Being able to talk to someone I trust who is not a counselor when I am struggling or having an emotional day has helped me a lot!
When I get to talk to a TCP Mentor I feel so relieved. I actually feel like I am able and ready to learn after talking with Mr. Mark.
