Telpochcalli Community Education Project (TCEP) is a resource center located in Little Village that provides residents with:

• Comprehensive direct services

• Opportunities to develop skills that ensure their active participation in decisions directly affecting their well-being

• Support in their efforts to secure political, economic, and social equity

 

Founded in 1998, TCEP has grown from a small agency focused on improving neighborhood educational opportunities and facilities into a full-service organization serving more than 5,000 community residents each year.

 

TCEP is a formally organized 501(c)(3) nonprofit community-based organization, and it centers its work in four key areas: Essential Services, the Call Center, Training, and Mentorship Projects.

 

In addition to providing direct services, TCEP identifies community needs and leads strong advocacy efforts on behalf of residents through active participation in numerous citywide and statewide coalitions and networks.
