Our Mission Statement
The Teachers & Students Empowerment Network promotes educational equity by offering free resources that empower both educators and students to achieve success.
Our Core Value
The Teachers & Students Empowerment Network is committed to ensuring that every child has equal access to a quality education by providing essential resources through our physical resource center, mobile delivery program, and community events.
We recognize that access to school supplies directly contributes to student success. By equipping students with the proper tools, we empower them to stay engaged, participate confidently in lessons, and reach their academic goals. Our resources have an immediate and meaningful impact on both students and teachers in underserved communities.
For educators, The Teachers & Students Empowerment Network helps alleviate the financial burden of purchasing classroom supplies. Teachers often spend between $500 to $1,500 of their own money each year to bridge the gap in resources. By providing these essential materials, we enable teachers to focus on what matters most creating an effective and equitable learning environment where every student can thrive.
The Need
Across all public-school systems throughout the United States, countless students attend class each day without access to essential school supplies needed for a quality education. Committed teachers frequently go above and beyond, often using their own money to provide these crucial materials, ensuring their students have the resources necessary for learning. On average, educators personally invest between $500 and $1,500 annually to support their classrooms.
Our Solutions
The Teachers & Student Empowerment Network, in collaboration with local businesses, charitable foundations, community organizations, and individual donors, addresses this critical need through its volunteer-run "Teachers Resource Centers." This initiative provides educators with donated school supplies and essential materials, ensuring their students have the resources necessary for academic success. Our program supports teachers from public school systems across the United States where at least 50% of the student population qualifies for free or reduced lunch programs.
