TEARS is a non-profit, 501c3 organization which seeks to educate and empower youth to make healthy decisions which will put them on paths to lead successful futures. It has been in existence since 1996 in the Chattahoochee Valley area of Alabama and Georgia. We have a variety of services to help the at-risk youth in the area including tutoring, GED prep, prevention education, substance abuse counseling, anger management, family counseling, and a homeless/runaway shelter for teen girls in Tuskegee, Alabama.
TEARS, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Mrs. Angelia C. Walton. She built the platform of TEARS through HIV/AIDS education to local churches and schools. In September of 1997 the organization received 501(c) (3)non-profit status.
Over the past few years, TEARS haS had the privilege of working with young people of all kinds of backgrounds. We, along with our volunteers, have seen first hand just how much one encouraging word or deed can truly affect the lives of others in a positive and powerful way. This has always been the driving force behind their phenomenal growth and continued support from board members, donors, and volunteers.
