How or Do We Care?
"Volunteer to Change the World" at a Tennessee
Charitable Nonprofit Organization
We Are the Volunteer State - Go Tennesseans
‘Teach Them to Care seeks to ignite ground-breaking passion for achieving the reachable, breathing belief back into communities and practical dreams of yesteryear; inspiring and assisting those that we serve to become motivated self-sufficient, zealous participants in their journeys — in both a brighter today and beyond’.
Teach Them to Care is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization founded for the purpose of assisting the under-served and enhancing opportunities available to low income families and children who have access to significantly fewer avenues for advancement due to economic barriers as well as those individuals that experience hardship due to a disability.
Donations to Teach Them to Care are used in to launch of our first charitable nonprofit program for under-served families with children - 'Breaking the Cycle'.
Teach Them to Care seeks to increase opportunities and positively affect the lives of single working mothers and their children. Single Mothers have significantly fewer opportunities to offer their children and are often living in the invisible, but growing class of “the working poor”. Our program, 'Breaking the Cycle' through proven Faith-based initiatives, Community programs, Financial Education, and Literacy, will promote stronger community citizenship, fulfillment of vacancies in their own community support systems and how to embrace proven strategies for a secure future.
We will also work with the children in the families we serve-who are experiencing the struggles presented to their single parents right along with them-on the importance of supporting family goals as well as setting individual goals and the achievement thereof.
TTTC will Promote Literacy and Self-Sufficiency, courses on budgeting, checking & saving knowledge, insurance, taxes, goal setting & critical thinking, preparing for college, successful small business ownership, as well as preparation for homeownership through the 'BTC' project.

Below is a bit of information on the founding of our nonprofit organization:
In my daily activities I often experience, with great astonishment, how some people are clearly focused exclusively on their own selves, presenting boldly to the world their me, me, me attitudes. I just cannot help but to wonder why they choose to be this way.
Have you ever sat down to ponder why some people seem to be so unconcerned about other people and their needs?
Or why some people are so intolerant of diversity in others?
Or why we are seeing a rise in a percentage of our youth that are self-focused, disrespectful towards others and even some who do not care about their own selves let alone others?
Or why are our children increasingly committing violence against others?
Have you stopped to think why is it that we are now living in an age where violence among our children is at an all time high, an age where children are bearing children with little idea of how to actually care for them.
Or why the world at large seems to care more about using digital media, a prime source that our children take a big interest in, to distribute materialistic messages rather than messages of good citizenship, messages about how we could and should be a more genuinely caring community and society in general.
As a society, we have lost our sense of caring for one another, our sense of commitment to the community as well as our sense of even being a community in general.
Have we became so busy working to secure our basic needs that we really just do not have the time to care about others and their basic needs? Or time to teach our children to care about others?
It is saddening to see so much of this every day. Therefore, I decided to found this not-for-profit organization in an effort to revitalize our sense of charity, our sensitivity for our fellowman and his plights, our sense of community, and our sense of responsibility.
The often-used saying that "Charity begins at home" holds great truth, however; if we want better communities for our children to grow up in, then we must as a community and a society teach them also to care about community issues and involvement.
