Recent events have been life-changing, particularly for Philadelphians living in poverty. A global pandemic. A crashing economy. National racial reckoning. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that local—and national—leaders work together.
Each year, the Forum mobilizes a network of citizens, practitioners, and city leaders who are committed to:
● Changing the narrative on poverty, busting myths about those affected
● Advancing evidence-based practices that increase economic mobility
● Influencing our city’s systems in hopes of helping more of our neighbors move out of poverty for good
Get Ready! Six sessions focused on ensuring equity during economic recovery. More than 15 local and national thought leaders, including the Scattergood Foundation’s
President, Joe Pyle, 
Vice President of Learning and Community Impact, Samantha Matlin 
Manager of Learning and Community Impact, Aminata Diallo 
Interactive workshop-style group activities. Social work CEUs for practitioners. And actionable take-aways to help you #ChallengePoverty
