Hear what those who use and have partnered with TUF are saying about us!

I’ve seen how beneficial TUF has been to so many young people here in my hometown of Tampa. It helps students organize their priorities and helps keep them on track in terms of achieving their goals. Tony Dungy

I credit TUF with turning my high school academics around and giving me the focus to become a top athlete. My grades went way up, and I became eligible to not only play but to be recruited for college.
