We have teamed up with "Wells Fargo" to provide Financial Literacy for communities. All graduates from The T.U.T Academy will have a solid life plan of options to pursue after high school, with the intention to "Close The Loop" by either creating new businesses or working within existing businesses in our communities.  The T.U.T Academy provides financial counseling for adults in our low income communities. Our Financial counseling includes basic tools such as credit counseling, banking needs, money management, and investments.  Lastly, our empowerment efforts extends through our annual events we hold in our communities to build community pride. Building community culture, pride and the power of our community dollar to be reinvested in our low income communities is our long term goal. 

Education

The T.U.T Foundation provides annual college scholarships and internships to high school and college students who exemplify high academic standards with a social and economic impact. Through the TUT Academy internship program, students build relationships with successful businesses within our communities. Depending on performance during these internships, students earn jobs right out of high school or after the completion of college.  The T.U.T Foundation Gala, is an annual fundraiser, held every year in the City of Carson to honor our college scholar awardees.
