Redemption, Inc. is a community based non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage the personal and educational advancement of underserved youth between the ages of 13 and 19 residing in urban areas. Through intergenerational learning, community involvement, and self-advocacy we provide academic and professional support.
Founded by Tiffany A. Tucker, whose personal high school experiences increased her insight and her concern for students in underserved schools and communities. Tiffany shared her thoughts with five other likeminded students whose compassion and understanding helped lay a solid foundation for Redemption Reclaim Rebuild Redirect, Inc. In 2003 the Redemption team of college students began organizing; Tiffany was a sophomore at the time. In 2005, Tiffany graduated from Adelphi University with her BA, and decided to delay law school in order to work full-time fostering an organization that is responsive to the needs of the youth and their families in New York City’s marginalized communities – starting with Brooklyn.
The name comes from Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song”, and its famous line, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind…” Redemption embodies Tiffany’s passion as a civil servant.
