Company history
TCA was founded in 1998, after spending many years producing programs for other organizations, including Outward Bound, Wolfcreek Wilderness School, Department of Juvenile Justice and the YMCA. Based on my commitment to those organizations, I did not offer my services independent of them in the TCA style of facilitation. A key goal of the organization is safely moving and motivating youth and adults through multiple growth points.
Now Tony Coppage Associates includes Master Educators, Scientists, Business owners and Spanish speaking staff members. Our commitment is to continue training families and corporate organizations in socially responsible ways of working without creating more of a divide between growth and responsibility.
