homeless population of Philadelphia. We also work with the Department
of Public Welfare to support people in planning for and finding
educational and career opportunities.
Each

lives. Students from our programs have achieved important milestones
in their lives. Successes includ
e:
a homeless woman getting a good paying job, a new English speaker
going on to college, and a middle-aged man returning to get his
GED in order to improve his work skills. Everyday our participants
change their lives for the better!
