YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT
In a press conference Monday, Mayor James Kenney and other city officials, businesses and philanthropies charged organizations from around Philadelphia to unite in a citywide effort to increase youth employment in Philadelphia.
“Summer jobs are important because they make connections with people, with adults who can change the course of a child’s life,” said the Mayor.
Even if you were unable to attend, we hope you will consider changing the course of young persons life by pledging your commitment below.
