TeenSHARP Do More 24 Delaware 2025

Organization Mission:

Building a diverse pipeline of leaders, one top college admission at a time

The Leaders of Tomorrow Need Us Today—Let’s Invest in Them

For 16 years, TeenSHARP has been breaking down barriers and opening doors to America’s top colleges and leadership pathways for Black, Latino, and low-income students. These students don’t just get in—they excel, graduate with minimal debt, and go on to shape industries, policies, and communities.

TeenSHARP provides what wealthier families pay thousands for—expert college advising, essay coaching, financial aid negotiation, and leadership development. We guide students to take the right classes, secure competitive pre-college experiences, and build standout applications. And we don’t stop at students—we empower families through workshops, helplines, and a strong community that gives them the knowledge and confidence to navigate the system.

But we can’t do it alone. Every dollar fuels this mission. Your support ensures more students receive the life-changing mentorship and resources they need to reach their full potential.

🚀 Donate today—because the next generation of bold, brilliant leaders is counting on us.



About TeenSHARP, Inc.

Founded in 2009, TeenSHARP is a dynamic learning community that empowers Black, Latino, and low-income students across the Delaware Valley. By using top college admissions as a catalyst for change, we are reshaping the landscape of leadership in America.

What started with just 10 students in a church basement has grown into a movement, reaching hundreds of students through our transformative virtual programs. Over the past 16 years, more than 700 TeenSHARP scholars have gained admission to top institutions like Yale, MIT, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Penn, Vanderbilt, Macalester, Pomona, Northeastern, and Swarthmore.

Our impact goes beyond college acceptance—TeenSHARP alumni graduate on time, with minimal debt. Nearly all complete college within four years (all within six), and on average, they leave with $15,000 or less in student loans—a fraction of the national average.

At TeenSHARP, we don’t just help students get in—we prepare them to lead and thrive.
