Inspiring Growth. Building Futures.
The Advancement Network (T.A.N.) is a New York–based organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders. Founded and led by educators, mentors, and artists born and raised right here in New York, we carry a deep commitment to giving back to the same communities that shaped us.
Our Mission
Why Choose Us
Our mission is simple: to inspire and equip New York’s youth with real-world skills that open doors to limitless possibilities. From video production, fashion, news journalism, and music to chess, entrepreneurship, and the arts — we design programs that meet students where they are and help them grow into the best versions of themselves.
Ready-Made
T.A.N. takes pride in offering ready-made courses and customizable programs that align with school needs, faculty goals, and DOE standards. Each curriculum is built with purpose — to engage, educate, and empower through creativity, innovation, and mentorship.
Our Network
What truly sets us apart is our network. We bridge the gap between today’s industry professionals and tomorrow’s leaders, providing direct access to mentors who show students that success is not only possible, but within reach. Every workshop, course, and partnership we develop reinforces one powerful message: New York students are capable of greatness, and their future starts now.
