Empowering Underserved Students, One Word at a Time 

The Together Friends Organization proudly presents its Spelling Bee Contest, a heartfelt initiative that uplifts and inspires students. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to build confidence and unlock potential in young learners by strengthening their spelling and reading skills.

This special event is more than just a competition—it is a celebration of learning, growth, and opportunity. By participating, students gain not only essential academic skills but also the self-assurance they need to succeed in school and beyond. Your support helps us provide resources, mentorship, and encouragement to those who need it most, ensuring every child has a chance to shine.

Support us in making a meaningful difference. Together, we can nurture bright futures and champion the mission of the Together Friends Organization: empowering every student to reach their highest potential.

TFO believes that every young person deserves the confidence to dream, achieve, and shine. This Summer 2026, our Reading Contest is more than a celebration of books—it’s a celebration of every student’s unique voice and potential.

Through this contest, we invite students to discover the power of reading as a gateway to confidence, knowledge, and self-expression. By participating, each student takes a bold step in building their reading skills, embracing new challenges, and supporting one another in a journey of growth.

Together, we are nurturing a community where every young reader feels valued, inspired, and empowered to succeed—not just in reading, but in life. Support us as we turn the page toward a future filled with confident, curious, and capable youth!

At the heart of the Together Friends Organization is a commitment to nurturing the voices and confidence of our youth. 

This fall, our Essay Competition invites scholars to reflect on the invaluable role their parents, grandparents, or caregivers play in their lives. By composing a thoughtful 300-word essay, students can express their gratitude, share personal stories, and celebrate the everyday heroes who guide and support them.

The core message of this event is twofold: appreciation and empowerment. We believe that when young people take time to acknowledge the love, sacrifices, and wisdom of their caregivers, they not only strengthen family bonds but also develop a deeper sense of empathy and self-awareness. At the same time, this competition serves as a platform for students to build their expressive writing skills—an essential tool for academic and personal growth.

Our goal is to inspire every participant to find their unique voice and gain confidence in sharing their experiences. Through writing, we hope scholars will discover the power of their words and the importance of their perspectives. By celebrating both the stories of our caregivers and the talents of our youth, this event truly embodies the Together Friends Organization’s mission: supporting and empowering the next generation to believe in themselves and their abilities.

Let’s come together to honor the people who shape us and encourage our youth to shine—one essay at a time.
