"As founders of TESS (Taking Education Skills Seriously) of North Carolina, we are dedicated to contribute to the academic and personal
growth of the youth going to school and living in our client-based communities."
TESS of North Carolina is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational charity that supports and prepares academically talented at-risk youth for entry into and success in institutions of higher education. Students accepted into the program show outstanding academic talent and have environmental and/or physical challenges that make them more likely to be at-risk of not entering higher education. You are invited to partner with Family First Support Center to support this mission. Contact TESS of North Carolina to become a corporate sponsor or individual supporter.
