What is TKF?

The Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF) is dedicated to transforming violence-prone, at-risk youth into nonviolent, achieving individuals and creating safe and productive schools. Through the Safe School Model approach Monroe Clark Middle school students are taught about the realities of violence, forgiveness, gangs, and the importance of making positive choices in their lives.

What We Do

TKF provides comprehensive school-based nonviolence programs and curriculum within the school. Services include intensive one-on-one mentoring, small group skill building workshops, in-class evidence based curriculum facilitation, violence prevention assemblies, and school-wide community service projects. TKF works to not only transform youth, but also a school’s culture in order for students to feel safe in their learning environments.
