Welcome To Our Website!
Welcome to the Teaneck Comes Together, Inc. (TCT) Website! TCT is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit community organization based in Teaneck, NJ and designed to provide fun, safe, motivational and educational events for Teaneck’s teens and their parents/guardians.
Introduction to TCT
TCT’s goal is to bring the various segments of Teaneck together to provide the types of events that Teaneck’s teens will enjoy and that will also help to better prepare them for today’s life challenges. We know that in order to effectively impact the teens, we must also provide education and resources for their parents/guardians. Established in the summer of 2006 by a group of concerned parents and community members, TCT has successfully created partnerships with various segments of the community (i.e., Teaneck township, police department, school district, recreation department, local businesses, houses of worship, community organizations and township citizens) to achieve these goals and continues to be fully staffed by volunteers.
TCT is now seeking donated office space and additional community partners. For further information, please contact us.
