EducationWorks is a not-for-profit organization that provides comprehensive support for economically disadvantaged communities in Philadelphia Chester PA; and Camden and Trenton NJ. Our goal is to provide educational programs and services that enrich the lives of children youth and families confronting high rates of poverty and other barriers to educational achievement. By tackling core issues like literacy graduation rates safety and social awareness we are equipping individuals with the tools they need to stay safe finish school make better choices and become more productive members of their communities.

We recognize that each child school or community has unique needs. Thats why we work directly with community and school leaders to uncover current and emerging needs and create customized programs that will have the greatest impact. From in-school programs to after-school and summer programs and beyond we serve children as young as 6 weeks all the way through to adulthood.

Our award-winning programs have a strong positive impact on the youth we serve. Assessments conducted by independent academic researchers have shown that as a result of our programs:

• Students achieve more academic success and develop better behavior in school.
• Students attend school more regularly and are more likely to graduate.
• Civic participation and commitment to service increase.
• Adults feel better about schools and the education their children are receiving.

Were proud of the impact weve had in neighborhoods hard hit by poverty low employment and low educational achievement. Backed by our experienced program management staff and hundreds of trained AmeriCorps members we improve the lives of over 15000 students and families annually.
