About Us

Who are we?

Teach My People is a Christian non-profit organization that has served the Pawleys Island community since 1999. An after-school program was first offered using the facilities and utilities of the Waccamaw Middle School. The program targeted 25 at-risk elementary school aged children and provided them with homework assistance and tutoring. The objective was to see a measurable improvement in the students’ testing and grade-point average. In 2004 construction was completed on the Teach My People Community Center. Today, Teach My People offers a high quality, no-cost after-school program for 85 at-risk elementary, middle, and high school students along with an eight-week summer enrichment program. A grade is added each year to our program so that each student is being prepared to attend college. Our trained staff strives to integrate family and community partners to ensure that our students receive the assistance they need to succeed in school while helping to develop the tools that will help them succeed in life. We are thankful to have more than fifty community volunteers providing weekly support at the center.
