There are two ways for your child to participate in our program.

2. Your child may be selected by their school teachers and/or administrators to participate in the program and the school will send you a permission slip through the parent portal.

The TCP Youth Empowerment curriculum is centered around our leadership philosophy – we were all born to be leaders and in order to be a leader we must first lead ourselves. Our curriculum has a heavy focus on the social, emotional and cognitive development of adolescents (social and self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, decision making/conflict resolution) using evidence-based research and support from the CASEL framework along with studies on the adolescent brain. Our curriculum also includes introducing students to business fundamentals and what we believe are essential life skills. 

Our program provides snacks and drinks for students each day. Days students take field trips, food and drinks are provided. 

Students will participate in field trips to local businesses where they will participate in hands-on activities with employees to learn about jobs and the skills needed to be successful in the workforce. Students will also participate in various, random community service activities throughout the year that support other local nonprofits. 

If students need academic tutoring and make us aware of the need, we will do everything we can to see that they find the tutoring support they need, whether that be from tutors we find and bring to the program or by connecting the student and their family to local tutors. 

TCP is taking all recommended precautions from sanitizing all equipment, tables, chairs, supplies and rooms we utilize to situating our rooms to ensure students and staff are social distancing. Parents will be asked to monitor their child’s temperature on a daily basis along with TCP staff doing the same.
