About Us

Founded in 2021 in Knoxville, TN, TEEM (Teen Elementary Education Mentors) has made tremendous impact thanks to the help of members and volunteers.  TEEM matches high school student volunteers with elementary school after care programs across the region.   These programs primarily serve under-resourced and disadvantaged communities. Our volunteers have contributed hundreds of hours to improve the lives of elementary students.
