Without proper direction, creative energy could be released through negative expressions of crime, substance abuse, and violence. Teens in the Student Ally Education Program discover appropriate contexts in which to showcase their talents; thus, ultimately recovering a sense of purpose and pride in themselves, their family, and their community. TCPP staff (Student Allies) personally walk with youth in safe, caring, small group settings. Student Allies implement a curriculum designed to foster accountability and responsibility. They encourage these youth to learn how to make healthy decisions, set & reach goals, and to have the proper communication skills needed to be successful in life.
TCPP engages students by taking them on tech tours to companies, such as Apple, Yahoo, VMware and Google.
Tutoring With The City Peace Project
Mentoring, coaching, and cheer-leading are a few roles volunteer tutors play while influencing students for good. By coming alongside scholars, and their teachers and parents, tutors are an added resource to help identify and find ways to bridge the gaps blocking scholars from greater success.
Although the aim is to nurture a love for learning and the confidence that comes with it, our great desire is to help scholars become good role models, hard workers, and peacemakers, both inside and out of the classroom.
