Student Stories

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. This section highlights real stories of growth, achievement, and the impact our programs have made in their lives.

They mentored me, believed in me when I doubted myself, gave me resources when I had none, and

made sure I knew I mattered.

TEEM Mentorship

I remember stepping off the bus in New Orleans, looking around, and seeing Black excellence everywhere. I saw my future.

Black College Tour

Because of TEEM, I found my voice. I found my purpose. I found a community. And I became the person I was always meant to be.

Found My Purpose

That experience made me believe. It gave me something powerful: a vision. It lit a fire in me that
I didn’t even know I had.
