A tight community of inspirational people.
Our team is more than just staff; we’re a family of passionate mentors and volunteers born to work with kids. With backgrounds in teaching, coaching, and sociology and a diverse range of life experiences, our mentors and staff bring a unique mix of empathy, knowledge, and real-world understanding to every interaction.
We walk alongside these kids—not just guiding them but learning from them, too.
While we can’t list all of the staff and volunteers who make our mission possible, know that each person plays a vital role in creating an environment where children feel safe and inspired.

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.
