Project Description
After School Program
Concilio operates after-school programming during the school year for elementary, middle, and high school students, in collaboration with the Public Health Management Corporation of Philadelphia (PHMC), 21st Century Community Learning Center/PA Department of Education (GRANT), and the Philadelphia Department of Human Services. Concilio works with these partners to provide a constructive and safe environment for each student during after-school hours. Youth explores the world around them through STEAM activities, field trips, and guest speakers. Youth attend after-school programming throughout the school year, receiving homework help and overall mentorship from Concilio youth facilitators. What drives our after-school program staff is encouraging students to be their best selves. Building critical thinking, life skills, and challenging students through experiential and learning activities, along with an encouraging environment keep students coming back to Concilio’s program and ultimately builds community within and outside of school.

Summer Camp
Concilio operates a 6 week Summer Camp for youth in school K-8 grades. The goal of the program is to offer academic enrichment based programming with a strong emphasis on literacy for grades K-5, high school readiness for grades 6-8 and successful transition/promotion to the next grade for all students. This successful transition includes academic preparedness as well as social skill building, and healthy relationship building. There is a strong emphasis on STEM and STEAM programming integration, with a variety of real word learning opportunities through various field trips, hands-on projects and experiential activities, life skills education, and literacy support.
