Transforming Today's Youth
Preparing today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders
Our Mission
T.T.Y. is committed to educating youths in Richmond from all walks of life.
Central to that commitment is the belief that learning is a continuous, expanding process that does not end when one graduates from high school or college or attains success in a career.
T.T.Y. supports and encourages the pursuit of intellectual and personal growth.
Our Work
Transforming Today’s Youth strives to make young adults confident and creative builders of their future.
Our focus is on the total well being of the participant intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically, morally and spiritually.
We work toward an integrated mentor ship that reaches across and discipline all age levels. The participants are encouraged to meet academic challenges with openness, enthusiasm, and a willingness to solve problems.

Higher Education Program
Our Higher Education Program helps high school students from low-income families strengthen their chances of graduating and pursuing college or full-time employment.
We emphasize growth in leadership, communication, self-direction, and problem-solving skills while encouraging meaningful mentor-mentee relationships through school-sponsored events and enrichment opportunities.
Mentors play a pivotal role in guiding students through the transition to college and adulthood — equipping them with the tools to succeed academically and personally.
