MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of Transformation Life Center is to ignite purpose, inspire success and transform the lives of African American/Black collegiate students and youth living in underserved communities through education, leadership Academy and Brown Boys Read initiative.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

P2SI LEADERSHIP ACADEMY For over a decade, the Transformation Life Center has been intently involved in helping to provide financial resources, learning resources, and firsthand mentorship to collegiate students across the Middle Tennessee area. We noticed early on that our students were getting vast knowledge surrounding theory of their education. However, the most challenging aspect of their matriculation surrounded being able to connect their learning with application in real world terms. In fact, many of those students understood the purpose of an education, but could not grasp how they fit in the big picture. Essentially, they could not grasp their Purpose in it all. Seeing this, TLC went to work in developing clinics, programs, and live coaching and mentoring opportunities to help its scholarship students gain this important connectivity between their studies and their success. When our "Successors" graduate from P2S Leadership Academy, we know that vision of purpose is IGNITED within them. This opens a world of possibilities to them in education and beyond! BLACK MEN RUN, BROWN BOYS READ In partnership with schools and organizations in under-resourced communities, our volunteer partners share valuable time with our boys reading one-on-on or in small groups and providing reading support which builds the confidence they need to embrace and love reading. Each Brown Boys Read session is launched with a 10 minute speaker who introduces a key word and influential African American/Black role model. We introduce, model, and reinforce leadership skills, strategies and tools our boys will need to be leaders in their home, schools and community. In 2020, 35% of Metro Nashville Public School (MNPS) elementary students were either overweight or obese. We coach the boys each week and teach lessons that promote good health and habits. The season culminates with each boy running 3.1 miles in the Steps of Success 5K run/walk in September of each year. STEPS OF SUCCESS 5K FUNDRAISER The Steps of Success 5K is the most anticipated event of the year and serves as the first point of exposure for collegiate students into our success community. The 5K run/walk is an engagement opportunity where all of our constituents (runners, sponsors, business professionals, students and volunteers) come together to meet community needs. Overall and age awards are given to participants, #IGNITE scholarships are awarded to college students and #INSPIRE and #TRANSFORM scholars are recognized. VIRTUAL LEARNING SUPPORT With the dangers of of COVID-19 altering how schools would operate for the 2020-21 school year, Transformation Life Center partnered with Trinity Community Commons, located in a 16,000 square foot building, to help working families facilitate Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) virtual synchronous learning programs for their children.
