About TCP Youth Empowerment
Sometimes, they just need someone to help light their path.
Through academic mentoring, emotional support, and leadership programs, we create spaces where all children feel valued and inspired to chase their dreams.
“TCP doesn't make the school stronger; they make the students stronger for life.
Who We Are
About TCP Youth Empowerment (TCP)
TCP Youth Empowerment is a youth-centered, leadership-focused nonprofit that helps students build life skills you don't always get in school. Since 2015, TCP has met people where they are, with a whole-child approach and hands-on programs that provide academic and emotional support for kids in Northern Anne Arundel County.
Headquartered in Linthicum Heights, with locations in Glen Burnie and Brooklyn Park, TCP builds strong connections before, during, and after school.
In 2026, TCP launched youth-led leadership workshops, a mentor training program, and a high school alumni program to keep students connected and supported for life.
Our Approach
In-school and out-of-school, designed for impact.
All of our programs are designed to help children discover their strengths, build confidence, and establish a sense of belonging. Each child gets equal opportunity to experience new things and access support when they need it most.
Discover Strengths
Every child has unique talents. Our programs help them uncover what makes them extraordinary.
Build Confidence
Through mentoring and real-world experiences, kids learn to trust themselves and step boldly into new challenges.
Create Belonging
No matter which program they join, each child is given an equal opportunity to connect, grow, and feel at home.
Our Story
One Crushed Dream To 1000 Dreams And Leaders
“Andy the CEO turned something that could have been detrimental to his future, and twisted it around to make it better for someone else.”
Andy Schindling had one dream as a kid: to play for the Baltimore Orioles. He was a natural talent, and he made it. Drafted into their minor league team after a standout play, Andy reached what most only dream of. But he didn't have the mindset to stay. Not because of a lack of talent, but because of something harder to see: the absence of the emotional intelligence he needed.
