Throughout my early childhood and teenage years, I struggled intellectually within traditional classroom settings. I vividly remember being labeled an “at risk” student by teachers and counselors. As you can imagine, the stigma of being labeled inadequate had a profound negative effect on my self perception and confidence. Thank God for the original TEAM THUMP which consists of family members, youth league organizations, mentors and teachers. As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, TEAM T.H.U.M.P has been given a “Divine Calling “to educate, motivate and uplift young students who carry the heavy burden of feeling challenged intellectually. It is our PURPOSE to empower every child by providing the proper resources and the support needed as they embark on life’s journey.
