Strategic Plan 2024-2028

The TEAK Fellowship was created twenty-six years ago to help bright, motivated young people with limited financial resources achieve their potential. Since 1998, TEAK’s educational enrichment program has served over 800 New York City students. TEAK Fellows have attended and graduated from the country’s top educational institutions and are leaders in their professions and communities throughout New York City and across the globe.
 
We are remarkably proud of where TEAK is today and are excited to share TEAK’s 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, which will build upon a quarter century of learning and growth and help propel the Fellowship into its next phase of impact. We invite you to read more about our strategic priorities — Expanding Impact, Broadening Career Horizons, and Deepening Holistic Support — and hope you will consider joining us in our continued efforts to transform lives and lift communities.

Expand Impact

Strengthen and grow the TEAK community by enhancing cross-class and Fellow/alumni connections, developing a robust alumni program and increasing class size.

Broaden Career Horizons

Close the opportunity and wealth gap by strengthening TEAK’s career exploration and professional development opportunities while integrating financial literacy into TEAK’s 10-year program.

Deepen Holistic Support

Ensure Fellows are set up for success holistically through the development of comprehensive wellness and experiential programs scaffolded by a strong staff.
