Tompkins Learning Partners (TLP) embraces inclusiveness, diversity, and equal opportunity as core values. We understand that our community is stronger when the gifts of all people are respected, embraced, and maximized to build a healthier community. We stand for social justice and believe that everyone is entitled to basic human and civil rights, and that literacy is a key to fully accessing our rights and freedoms.
We support our black students, tutors, friends and community and unite with them in working to end racial and ethnic bias, discrimination, and systemic injustice.
