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

The TLC “I Am Me” program empowers teens by teaching life skills that build confidence, inspire compassion and encourage them to pursue their dreams. Using experiential learning, including journal writing, open discussions and activities, our classes promote self-discovery and cover relevant topics in a safe and caring environment.

At TLC, we aim to empower teens to overcome their own adversity and crisis through positive thinking. Through tested methodologies from globally-respected thought leaders, TLC teaches effective life tools that enable teens to gain the confidence and self-esteem they need to take responsibility for themselves – ultimately giving them the power to make positive changes in their own lives. At TLC, we believe in the “Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day/teach a man to fish, he’ll eat forever” philosophy. Our curriculum currently runs in high schools, after school programs, hospitals and Juvenile Hall.
