Every philly child deserves a great public school
How we fight for quality schools
Each program fights for Quality Philly Schools
Advocating for Great Public Schools
PGPS is building the capacity of schools to advocate for themselves, funding their efforts and sharpening their strategy. This is institutional power
Political Power & Leadership
PGPS is developing the people who make and influence policy — from the inside. This is political power. The legislative agenda is the content; the fellowship and forums are the pipeline.
Community Mobilization & Education
PGPS is building the base, informed, activated, and organized people who can hold institutions and electeds accountable. This is community power.
