Mission

The TEAK Fellowship believes that motivation and potential, not economic circumstances, should determine a student's future. TEAK unlocks access to outstanding education and transformative experiences for exceptional NYC students, who use these opportunities to change their lives and the world around them.

TEAK is a free program that helps talented students from low-income families achieve their potential. Through intensive after school and summer classes, TEAK prepares middle school students to get into the nation's most selective high schools and colleges. TEAK's strong support system ensures that students thrive in their independent (day and boarding) high schools and graduate from college, ready to pursue their professional goals and positively impact the world.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Middle School Program

In the spring of 6th grade, accepted students begin intensive programming to prepare for the high school placement process.

After a competitive six-month admission process, selected students are invited to join TEAK in the spring of 6th grade. Students then participate in a cycle of intensive academic programs to prepare them for the competitive admissions processes at selective high schools, as well as for future academic success. In addition to academic enrichment, students also gain exposure to the rich cultural and artistic offerings that NYC has to offer through projects and field trips.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

TEAK works closely with each family to guide them through the high school admission and financial aid application processes.

Providing comprehensive support in each student’s search for their best high school match, we help with applications, test prep and interview prep, and offer counsel on navigating the choices between selective public, parochial, and independent day and boarding schools. While TEAK does not guarantee that students will be accepted at specific schools, we do provide extensive support and guidance throughout the process and work closely with the schools, students, and families to help students take the next step on their educational journey.
Through TEAK, Fellows have access to selective public, parochial, and independent high school options.

TEAK provides four years of comprehensive programs and services to support high school students in competitive academic environments and to prepare them for admission and success at selective colleges. In addition to the programs listed below, students continue to participate in the Mentor Program and arts programming.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

As students transition from high school, they will have access to dynamic programming geared towards college success and engagement across the TEAK classes. This additional component of TEAK encompasses check-ins and visits for first and second year students; group and individual academic, career, and financial aid counseling; a student-led mentorship program; academic and pre-professional workshops; internship opportunities; and bi-annual reunions.

TEAK provides college guidance including test prep, help with selecting best fit colleges, along with interview and financial aid workshops.

Beginning junior year of high school, TEAK provides comprehensive college guidance for Fellows and families to supplement the resources offered by high schools. TEAK offers comprehensive, individualized college counseling and financial aid support; workshops on the application process, college essays, college interviews, and financial aid; SAT preparation classes; and college trips.
