PROGRAMS
HARAMBEE YOUTH PROGRAM
Harambee is a Swahili word meaning “all pull together”. At TCC, that is what we do. This after-school program provides time for work as well as play, as kids meet at Starr Elementary School after classes and finish their homework together. Upon finishing, the children are encouraged to play in the gym or help each other out. Once a week special guests come to help with an art project! Harambee ends with a nutritious dinner provided by Reid Health before the parents arrive!

FINANCIAL LITERACY
With our partner, MainSource Bank, we are able to provide the basic tools to teach our children as well as their parents why and how to save money. They learn how to write checks, pay bills and maintain accurate records of their finances.
YDEPP (Youth Drug Education Prevention Program)
YDEPP (Youth Drug Education Prevention Program) provides non-judgmental education to our youth on how to change drinking and drug use behaviors by changing beliefs, attitudes, risk perceptions, motivations, and the knowledge of how to reduce their risk of alcohol- and drug-related problems throughout their lives. YDEPP equips the participants with the appropriate tools to understand the possible risks linked with high-risk alcohol and drug choices is a significant tool to protect what we value.
