These services help to ensure that mentees are fully able to perform at their most optimal levels as children and are also fully prepared for adulthood.
Academic Tutoring
Mentees receive after-school academic support in the areas where they are experiencing difficulty.

Sports & Recreation

"I was able to improve my people skills through The Carter Foundation. Public speaking was never my forte ,but TCF taught me step-by-step how to deliver an effective speech and how to carry myself as a successful adult. I will always be thankful for these skills and for the extra mile they go to help their members!"
