Why should I support your work?

At Treatment and Learning Centers’s Katherine Thomas School in Rockville, we tailor programming for each child. In some cases, we prepare young people to graduate and go to college or work; in others, we work with young people with multiple disabilities to give them the best possible opportunity to lead happy, productive and independent adult lives.

Donations from individuals allow TLC to continue to provide very high quality services to a very diverse group of children. 

If you can, please support us through your workplace: CFC #35945, United Way #9861.  In other workplace campaigns, you can write in our name and EIN: 52-0607924.
