Dynamic Team Company

About the Org (Taken from Org Website):
The Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) was founded in 1997 by four teenagers,
Efren Penaflorida, Jr., Jefferson Bernal, Reczel Alconcel Fajardo and mentor Bonn
Manalaysay from Cavite National Highschool, who aimed to discourage students
from joining violent gangs and notorious fraternities through engaging programs
that focused on talent and self-development. The group positioned DTC and their
activities as the best form of retaliation or ‘resbak’ from the bullying of gang
members.

Through a partnership with Club 8586 Inc., a non-profit, people development
organization that share the same mission as DTC, the group rolled out community
service and out-reach programs in Cavite City, and trained under Club 8586 to
become self-sufficient.

Following the training under Club 8586, Inc., the group was able to roll-out and
support their projects through fund raising initiatives such as concert performances
showcasing the talents of DTC members and by selling newspapers, bottles and
other recycled products. These efforts paved the way for DTC to train more youth
leaders, and purchase their first pedicab for their literacy and feeding programs.
Today, DTC has been successfully reaching out to communities through a weekly
outreach program under the K4 Project (Kartion Klasrum, Klinik at Kantina). Other
programs of DTC include the L.E.A.P and D.O.S.E.

The founders of DTC find fulfillment as they slowly grow the number of youths
being transformed through their programs. Transformed youth, who used to be
drug users, petty thieves, scavengers, street kids, drop-outs and out-of-school
youth are now DTC volunteers and have returned to mainstream education. While
some of the children remain out of school they, at least, are able to access basic
education through K4.

For DTC, educating children outside the classroom is their life’s mission and they
will strive harder to give the underprivileged children a better fighting chance at
life.
The DTC headquarters is located at 188 J. Miranda St., Caridad, Cavite City, Philippines
