DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?
Do You Want To Play? is a solution for some of the societal issues that community youth and their families face daily. This collaborative effort uses basketball as a gathering point of recreation, education, and career opportunities for growth and sustained success for community youth. The design is intended to positively impact the graduation rates for students in alternative education models especially those over-aged and under-credited.

iSTEM MENTORING
This joint venture between North Philly Project (NPP) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) teaches practical Leadership skills along with an interactive STEM curriculum that Includes Coding, Robotics, fundamental Science, math, and engineering. The program helps students find purpose by Strengthening their self-confidence, find their voice, exercise authority, articulate, pursue and achieve S.M.A.R.T. goals.
​
Our mission is to impact, empower, educate, and guide youth toward purpose by exposing them to positivity and opportunity through role models, STEM, and leadership education.
​
Mentoring creates a positive impact on youth’s lives. Youth with mentors have higher rates of high school graduation and are less likely to drop out of school. They find more self-confidence, self-esteem and are able to create big goals for themselves. Additionally, studies show that behavior, attitudes, and relationships improve when youth has a mentor. Mentors help children grow and close the social and/or economic opportunity gap.​
​
North Philly Project is grateful for the generous support of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Society for Biomedical Research, and donors that fund our iSTEM initiatives.
