Phipps Neighborhoods serves approximately 10,000 children, teens and adults in three key areas that we have identified as the best ways to systematically address the risk factors associated with poverty. Our School and Community Education programs include early childhood education, after-school programs, community school engagement, and summer camps for school age children. To help older youth begin careers, our Learning and Career Development programs offer high school equivalency preparation, English for speakers of other languages, college prep, and work readiness services. And, to help our community members address the barriers that limit their success, we offer Community Resources including resident support, financial counseling, free tax prep, assistance accessing benefits, and more. These services are funded by government grants and contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals.
