Who We Are

About TEEP
TEEP is a free, out-of-school time program for Boston Public middle and high school students (7th – 12th grades). Our mission is to create a safe community where every member is inspired to discover, empowered to engage, and individually affirmed.

We have built our program around our core values, the 5 Rs: Respect, Responsibility, Restraint, Reciprocity, and Redemption. A holistic understanding of these five values provides students a decision-making framework that can help shape their choices, both at TEEP and in all aspects of their lives.

• Increased Academic Performance: Students will improve in math and literacy.
• Improved Self-Esteem: Students will improve their self-esteem regarding math, language arts, music, and self-expression.
• Development of Life Skills: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the 5 R’s (above), with visible application of these values to their daily lives at school and in their communities.
• Community Leadership Roles: Students will develop leadership skills and become leaders at TEEP and in their communities.
• College Education: With support from TEEP staff, students will apply for college and financial aid programs.
