Our mission is to inspire today’s youth to reach their full potential as productive, kind, happy, and responsible individuals.

Tilly’s Life Center (TLC) is a youth-focused, 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable foundation aimed at empowering all teens with a positive mindset and enabling them to effectively cope with crisis, adversity and tough decisions.

It’s Empowering. At TLC, our students are not simply provided a handout. We offer the greatest give of all – Empowerment. We empower teens to change their own lives.

Our classes are Fun and Interactive. Teens are challenged to express their feelings through roleplaying, art, journaling, meditation and other fun activities.

Our students Make Their Own Rules. Our incredibly inspiring facilitators allow teens to participate in their own time and however they choose. Our classes encourage experiential learning and self-discovery.

It just Feels Good. Through a focus on positive experiences, graduates leave our program with a renewed sense of hope and self-worth. They are excited about the future and their place in it!
