About Us

Tribe One is a social purpose enterprise that serves inner-city youth in East Knoxville.  Tribe One uses a screen-printing business to fund its educational youth programs and offer workforce development for young adults.

Programs offered at Tribe One include Tribe One Screen Printing, Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools Program, Harambee (a female mentoring program), and the Tribe One After-School Program that incorporates tutoring, educational workshops and activities, social and life skills development, and an urban gardening curriculum.

Tribe One serves youth in the East Knoxville community and has partnered with many local elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as formed working relationships with other area non-profit organizations to help create a strong, healthy community. It is our hope to positively change the community we live in, beginning with our children.
