Philly Counts and Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteer Services Join Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity
Posted by Mayor's Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity on August 22, 2023
Effective July 1, 2023, the programs and staff of the Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteer Service (OCEVS) and Philly Counts are part of the Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO).
In January 2023, the organizations began a process to incorporate the work of the Philly Counts (PC) program and OCEVS into CEO’s organizational structure and work. The merger allows the teams to bring together their existing programs and expertise to better achieve economic justice for all Philadelphians.
The expanded CEO will maintain essential community engagement and outreach programs, including Community Resource Corps, Community Health Workers, the Serve Philadelphia VISTA Corps, and the Civic Engagement Academy. The collaborative effort will continue connecting residents with resources and programs that reduce barriers to economic mobility out of poverty.
