Our goal is to help youth and families develop the resilience necessary to overcome challenges, discover the best of themselves and create healthier, happier patterns of living.
Who We Are
Our Mission
Our Belief
At TEC, we have the strong belief that if an individual is given the tools to know better, they will ultimately do better. When people make beneficial changes in their own lives, it doesn’t just impact them, but also their families, communities, and future generations to come.
Our Focus
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT! Our Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) is our comprehensive approach to building resiliency in the lives of youth. YLA develops life skills and fosters successful patterns of living.
Strengths Discovery
This evidenced-based workshop helps youth develop personal strengths to communicate who they are, what makes them special, and how to use their natural talents to succeed.
Financial Literacy
This interactive workshop focuses on “Adulting” – helping youth transition into the real world by making sound real-world financial decisions.
Character Development
Through these classes, we provide youth with tangible strategies to improve their academic, social, and emotional skills and to inspire better decision making and behavior.
Performing Arts
YLA provides healthy outlets for youth to improve their self-esteem through creative expression in the areas of poetry, creative writing, music, dance, and art. Generation F.O.U.N.D. at The Empowerment Center hosts TAKE THE STAGE, a FREE Youth Talent Showcase, every 4th Friday.
