My Nonprofit Reviews

I have served as a mentor at the TEAK Fellowship for three years and it has been a great experience, all around. TEAK seems to have figured out that supporting a young, bright student through junior high, high school and through college is not just about financial aid, scholarship and internship opportunities. Instead, TEAK focuses on providing classroom-based supplemental learning, true long-term mentoring, meaningful college and high school preparation and a focus on improving the relationships that each TEAK fellow needs to see the program through. It's not easy. Fellows pull long summer hours and are consistently being challenged, so the support is needed.

Aside from all of this, the staff and board at TEAK are among the best I've seen - well organized, responsive and dedicated. TEAK may not be the largest non-profit organization, but I couldn't imagine the organization being more impactful for the lives that they touch.
