About the Teen Leadership Corps (TLC)

• Supporting The Giving Factory staff during two volunteer shifts.
• Increasing awareness of our mission by hosting a product collection drive or fundraiser in your own community.
• Participating in an orientation, leadership development workshop, and giving a wrap-up presentation of their project outcomes. 
• Becoming an effective leader while developing new skills.

The TLC program is run three times per year, in the Spring (March–May), Summer (June–August), and Fall (October–December).

“I realized how much I like helping people and spending my time doing that when I could be doing other things. I started wanting to help out at the Giving Factory more. Being a TLC member helped me see that people needed certain items and being able to give it to the children was really rewarding.” – Spring 2018 TLC Member
