Empowering students with partnerships
ABOUT US: PARTNERSHIPS
Schools, institutions, and corporate partners have come together to join Heights’ vision for Philadelphia youth.
Through dynamic partnerships with institutions like Temple University – including the Cecil B. Moore Scholars and Temple Future Scholars programs – we connect students from low-income communities to comprehensive college preparation and full-ride opportunities.
Heights works hand in hand with educators at 21 Philly middle and high schools. Here, we lead school-wide college and career programming, 1:1 advising, enrichment opportunities, and more.
Students in partner schools receive individualized support in grade-cohort groups, along with hands-on internship opportunities with employer partners.
