What is TAP?

TAP operates a tutoring and mentoring program for inner-city boys which aims to boost their academic performance while developing their character. Most of the staff of this program are young high school, college, and young professional men who are committed to service and want to be generous with their time. All TAP's programs are run in conjunction with Tenley Study Center. We are eager to continue making the Tenley Achievement Program a great service to disadvantaged young men in the Washington D.C. area.
