Our Programs

Our Verticals

Our Learning & Impact educators provide exceptional Out-of-School-Time (OST), In-School-Support (ISS) and summer services for thousands of students annually. Our K-12 programs engage students in project-based learning using instructional scaffolding strategies to classroom learning. Industry and community partners provide supplemental programming and real-life workplace, college, and career readiness exposure and experiences.

Our nationally renowned AmeriCorps workforce development program, PowerCorpsPHL, is aimed directly at youth aged 18-30, 50% of whom are returning citizens from juvenile or adult systems. PowerCorpsPHL reconnects individuals to training, education and careers with a sustainable path to successful lives. We provide exceptional supportive services and competitive wages with sector-specific training and technical credentialing.

With these programs, we extend EW’s continuum of care that stretches from kindergarten to adulthood, focused on addressing trauma and economic and cultural barriers, creating positive impact, and transforming the lives of those we serve.
