WHAT:
Twenty top college graduates from 12 different home states, 10 colleges and representing 14 different majors have chosen to spend the next 12 months strengthening Philadelphia’s non-profit sector as Philly Fellows. This year, Philly Fellows will continue its partnerships with an outstanding group of agencies including the Philadelphia Youth Network, Project H.O.M.E., and Women Against Abuse. Philly Fellows is also excited to be working with several other agencies, including Mill Creek Farm, the Juvenile Law Center, and HIAS and Council Migration Service for the first time this upcoming year. Though each partnering non-profit has a unique mission and programming strategy, they all strive to alleviate conditions of poverty in the communities they serve.
