If you want to rebuild poor neighborhoods, then you need to begin with young people. At TRIBE ONE we know that Jesus spent his life on the ground and in the neighborhoods spreading the "good news". His news is that all things are possible, even to people who are living in poverty, violence, and brokenness. At TRIBE ONE we carry his message into the streets of East Knoxville.

We believe at TRIBE ONE that through a daily partnership with God, people can change. We prepare at-risk youth for LIFE and WORK by focusing on spiritual formation, vocational discernment, and citizenship. People change when they find an inspiring environment that supports that transformation.
