InvestTNkids.org is a nonprofit organization based in East Tennessee. We focus on helping traumatized children. Helping the family succeed is the best way to achieve long-term success.
​
My name is Brian. I have worked with traumatized children since 2011. I currently have caseworkers from 3 organizations who contact me if they have grandparents raising grand or great-grandchildren needing food, home repair, auto repair, trauma counseling, or tutoring. Most of these families are at or below the poverty level.
​
We are dedicated to helping children in need. Our team is made up of compassionate individuals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of these children. We believe every child deserves a chance to succeed, and our core value is a commitment to providing the support and quality resources they need.
​
OUR MISSION
In its simplest form, investTNkids.org is the good father to our traumatized children that they never had. By providing Trauma Counseling and Tutoring, this will create opportunities and establish learned boundaries with instilling life skills and other key goals necessary for a successful future, which is of our top priorities. Some of the resources the group uses to give these children a better future are as follows:
​​
-
​Trauma counseling:
-
The most crucial resource for a traumatized child is also the most difficult to get access to.
-
​
-
Tutoring:​
-
While it may seem obvious that tutoring helps children, few people realize how much academic improvement can benefit kids from difficult backgrounds.

If you follow me on Facebook you will know that I am very vocal about two things:
-
Thing 1 Joe Dalton the teacher who pleaded guilty to 5 counts of aggressive touching. Blount County TN Schools, DCS, and the State Board of Education have hidden this pervert like a naughty Catholic priest for the last 19 years, and Thing 2, the Tennessee Board of Education is unwilling to appropriately address the fact that over half of the students in Elementary school are not reading on grade level. I am working on funding for a Reading and Math Bootcamp. Help guardians and parents home school their children and work strictly on becoming proficient in reading and math. At that point they can go back to public school. This needs to happen ASAP. I will keep you posted.

Self Sufficiency:​
-
Teaching them to become self-sufficient is necessary for them to have a bright future. We will become a small business incubator for the kids and young adults we serve. We will encourage their passions and teach them to monetize their talent. For starters, we are renting a mobile kitchen and teaching them how to cook and sell their own creations. They will also work side by side with a digital media company, getting a head start learning how to promote their business and others. While staying safe on the internet.
