Working to meet the need
Our goal is to encourage youth to become responsible, productive citizens. Whether advancing their education or career we are there to open doors to better opportunities for our kids.
Highlights of the Technical Training Center Program
For the past two years the TTC has placed 100% of the program graduates in jobs or college! Enrollment has increased from 230 kids in 2010 to 316 in 2011. The program offers training in three areas most sought after in Memphis - Culinary, Logistics and Automotive Care. More programs are in development and community partners are always welcome!
If you're interested in partnering with us to place our students with your company or expand our programs at the TTC please contact Joe Sing at
