The mission of TCEP is to work for social
justice by increasing the capacity and
participation of Little Village residents in the
formation of a more united, better educated,
safer, and social prepared community.
In 1998, a committed group of parents and
educators formed the Telpochcalli
Community Education Project (TCEP) to
address the lack of cultural and educational
resources available to families at
Telpochcalli School and the larger Little
Village community. Initially organized as a
coalition of community residents and
institutions advocating for the construction of
a multi-purpose cultural facility adjacent to
the school, TCEP has since become an
innovative non-profit organization. Our
mission is to work for social justice by
increasing the capacity and participation of
Little Village residents in the formation of a
more united, educated, safer, and social
prepared community.
