T.E.A.M - The Empowerment Achievement Movement is a community based nonprofit organization created to empower youth of the community & abroad

WHY T.E.A.M. INC.? As a child, Taj was raised by a single Mother who did her best with what she had but by no means could she teach him how to be a man. So, with little to no real positive role models in life, Taj promised himself that one day he would give back & provide something that he never had. So, when Taj began to see all of the self-destruction amongst our young black men, he told himself that it was time to take action & launch a platform for young men to find themselves & strive for excellence. In 2014, Taj spoke at a career day at his alma mater Simon Gratz High School in Philadelphia, Pa & was so touched by the feedback from one young man that he decided to put together a 9-week mentorship course at the school to address some of the social, educational, economic, etc. problems that plague the community. In 2015, Taj decided to take a step of faith by applying for his 501c3 & as of today, T.E.A.M. Inc. has formed the Men of Courage mentor program which has over 20 participants and continues to grow.
