Helping Shape Brighter Futures
We start with trauma-informed care.
By creating a safe, trauma-informed environment for students to
connect with healthy adults, we can help to reduce the lingering effects of trauma and foster resilience.
We invest in long-term relationships with each kid and family.
We start working with kids as young as 3 years old and journey with the whole family until the kids turn 21.
We take a local, team approach.
From summer camps and after school tutoring to transportation and one-on-one mentoring, our Monroe volunteers and staff come together to provide age-appropriate, holistic care for each family member.
Our Focus
Team Up works with the whole family to provide trauma-informed services around mentoring, wellness, education, and empowerment.
“Volunteering at Team Up was a great decision and has been a a heartwarming experience to observe the group as they grow and mature. I have found the teen group to be loving and eager to learn, and I am truly honored to be a small part of their lives.”
Teen Mentor
“All of the kids at Team Up know we are not going anywhere. There’s not a chance that we’re ever going to wash our hands of them. We’re never going to disappear on them. ”
Jocelyn, Teen Mentor
“Volunteering with Team Up has opened my eyes in a lot of ways that I didn’t expect. I thought I was going to be able to come in, mentor some high school boys on math, and that’s it. But they’ve taught me as much or more than I’ve taught them.”

“I’ve been involved with non-profits for over 25 years, and Team Up is by far the BEST! I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering as a Team Up Mentor for over 6 years. It’s one of the most fulfilling times of my week!!”

“All you have to do is show up… and be yourself. The training is fast and fun. The kids make it all worthwhile.”
