Empowering the Next Generation!

Training Communities to Achieve Maximum Potential Foundation (T-CAMP) is transforming lives across Santa Barbara, one student at a time. We're a local non-profit committed to ensuring every child in our community has the support they need to thrive—not just academically, but as confident leaders and resilient individuals.

Our vision is simple but powerful: that every student in the Santa Barbara community graduates high school prepared to excel as both a learner and a leader. We believe that academic support, athletic guidance, and family care together provide the foundation kids need to thrive—in the classroom, on the field, and in life.

How We Make It Happen: Academics. Athletics. Advocacy.—our three pillars of impact:

  • Academics: Weekly after-school program at Franklin and Cleveland Elementary Schools, providing tutoring, mentorship, and daily support in a safe, nurturing environment

  • Athletics: Daily physical activity during after-school sessions where mentors actively engage with students, building focus, confidence, and stronger relationships. We host periodic sports clinics with local teams and organize community basketball tournaments that raise funds for shoes and holiday gifts

  • Advocacy: Comprehensive community support that removes barriers to success—providing school supplies and snacks during our programs, donating new shoes to over 200+ children annually, distributing Thanksgiving turkeys and sides to 50 families, and assisting 30+ families with new toys, warm clothing (pajamas, coats, socks), and food during the holiday season.
