Take a look at some of the lives changed by TEEM.

Senator Harry Coates made homemade ice cream for the staff, students and volunteers of TEEM. Volunteers were honored for their service to the organization. Honorees included Senator Coates, Barry and Nancy Grove and a group of Chesapeake volunteers.

Lawyers from the Oklahoma Association for Justice held a charity golf tournament, Spring Swing. The organization donated the proceeds from the event to TEEM. OAJ donated approximately $5,000 of the proceeds from Spring Swing to TEEM as well as over 150 professional clothing items.

At TEEM's annual luncheon students shared their lives before TEEM and how they are different after being a part of our program in their cardboard testimonies.

Students were given the opportunity to compose an essay, poem or illustration of a Black American that had positively impacted their life for TEEM’s second annual Black History Month Contest. All participants were celebrated by taking a tour of the Oklahoma State Capitol and the top three winners were honored in a luncheon hosted by Senator Harry Coates.

TEEM and Lions partnered together to promote a healthier Oklahoma by addressing the most critical health issues in our state. Free health screenings and information on obesity, tests for glaucoma, diabetes, cholesterol, visual acuity, basic pulmonary functioning, body composition and high blood pressure were all included.

Earl’s Rib Palace and TEEM partnered together to host the second annual Operation Winter Warmth. The community shared in the spirit of the holidays by spreading warmth and good cheer by donating jackets, coats, gloves, scarves, socks and shoes. This year we provided warm clothing to 450 people in OKC.

The Oklahoma Association for Justice volunteered their morning to sort and organize professional clothing they donated to TEEM. OAJ hosted a professional clothing drive to help empower students of TEEM to make the vital step of a good first-impression as they pursue employment.
