TEC runs the ESCUCHA! Youth Mentorship Program.
ESCUCHA! is dedicated to providing underserved youth with the opportunities to become leaders and college bound students through a series of developmental workshops facilitated by volunteer professionals and university students.

Students also have the opportunity to participate in Educational/recreational field trips as well as developing community based service projects.
The Program has been supported by the Division of Juvenile & Substance Abuse Services of the Morris County Department of Human Services and The Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse - Municipal Alliances Program. This program has been named “BEST PRACTICE IN HUMAN SERVICES-Delinquency Prevention,” twice by the New Jersey Association of County Human Services Directors STATEWIDE Conference.
