The TCOC will serve the community youth with after school education programs which are designed to enable the children of the Southern Pines Community to master basic skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. We will then enable the children to apply these skills so that they become critical thinkers and independent learners. The venues and vehicles that will afford the students these opportunities include: a recording studio, dance lessons, music composition, writing classes, robotic training, Step training, science and math competition.
The TCOC building is located at 972 W Pennsylvania Ave behind the Trinity AME Zion Church.
