Mission Statement

To bring together diverse sectors of the Philadelphia education community as the convener of innovative ideas and mutual support, ultimately enhancing the learning experiences of our students.

Description

Vision: To create a positive professional environment that values and convenes educators from diverse backgrounds, and brings creative and exciting ideas to life in classrooms across the city.

Our Soups: Participants come together for a simple soup meal. Everyone brings $15, which becomes the grant for the night. During the meal, educators present their ideas for projects they would like to fund with the night’s microgrant. Each presenter has 3 minutes to present and then a few minutes to answer questions. At the end of the presentations, everyone votes for the project that they would like to give the largest portion of the grant to. Every teacher receives a percentage of the funds, and PhilaSoup matches the ticket sales to make grants even bigger!
