RECENT PROJECTS

Project THRIVE! is a financial counseling and career development program that addresses the spiritual, psychological and societal causes of under employment and the wealth divide.

PROBLEM WORTH SOLVING

Poverty Rate

 

​Philadelphia remains the poorest large city in the United States, with 21.7 percent of residents living below the poverty line in 2022​. 380,000 people struggle daily to cover necessities like food, shelter, clothing and healthcare.

​​

In Philadelphia, 15% of 16- to 24-year-olds  — roughly 30,000 young people — are currently not enrolled in school or employed. 37% of  all Philly children live in poverty.

​

According to work done by researchers from Columbia University and the City University of New York, each unemployed youth — someone between the ages of 16 and 24 who is in neither in work nor school — costs taxpayers nearly $14,000 dollars per year in direct costs for things like medical bills and government aid, while ultimately creating a “social burden” of more than $37,000 annually (when accounting for the costs of crime and lost tax revenue).

​​​

Project THRIVE! aims to change these statistics. It’s no longer just about getting by. Our counselors want you to THRIVE!
