WE ARE EGO
OUR 4 PILLARS
Here's why we exist.
Non-Recidivism/Mentoring
Our mentoring excellence pillar ensures that each student benefits from personalized mentorship. We believe in the power of one-on-one connections, where experienced mentors guide students based on their individual strengths, goals, and aspirations. This customized approach fosters a sense of belonging and accelerates personal and academic development.
Digital Literacy and Technology Empowerment
In a world driven by technology, EGO Academy pioneers a cutting-edge approach to education. We empower our students with essential digital literacy skills, ensuring they not only navigate the digital landscape with confidence but also harness its power for educational and career opportunities.
Mental Health, Well-Being & Learning Differences
At EGO Academy, we prioritize the mental health and well-being of our students, with a special focus on those facing the challenges of racial discrimination and poverty. Beyond traditional education, our programs are designed to nurture emotional resilience, address systemic inequities, and empower individuals through workshops, resources, and a supportive community where everyone can thrive emotionally, mentally, and academically.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
EGO Academy is a hub for fostering innovation and cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit. We inspire our students to think beyond conventional boundaries, providing them with the tools and mentorship needed to turn their passions and talents into ventures that shape a brighter future.
POLICY MATTERS
As part of its broader mission, EGO Academy is deeply committed to driving change in judicial and educational policies affecting youth. By advocating for fairness, equity, and justice, the academy strives to create pathways for redemption and opportunity for justice-involved youth or those facing disciplinary challenges in school. EGO Academy firmly believes in supporting the growth and development of every child, championing initiatives that empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve their fullest potential.
OUR FOUNDER
Meet Toria Brown, the visionary founder of EGO Academy and a veteran educator with over 23 years of experience. As Executive Director, Toria established EGO Academy in 2006. An award-winning educator, she began her journey alongside her husband with the impactful Downtown History Project, where 20 students explored the history of Memphis' trolley loop while building career readiness skills.
Since then, EGO Academy has expanded its reach by hosting ACT workshops (Saturday Success Sessions), professional development sessions for teachers, and after-school tutoring initiatives in schools across the Mid-South region.
Beyond the classroom, Toria has made a significant mark on education by developing curricula, securing grant funding, and leading various nonprofits in the Mid-South for years. Her leadership and dedication to educational innovation and community development have left a lasting legacy.
With a proven track record of success and a vision for the future, EGO Academy is poised to expand nationwide, bringing its innovative programs and transformative approach to communities across the country.
