Our Mission
Coordinate youth and adult partnerships in order to provide and promote youth development and leadership opportunities in Southeast Philadelphia.
What is the Southeast Philadelphia Collaborative?
The Southeast Philadelphia Collaborative (SEPC) is a group of neighborhood-based organizations dedicated to providing educational, safe, fun and inspiring learning and social environments for youth ages 5-18. Since 1999, the SEPC has served as the primary network for after-school programming in Southeast Philadelphia, pooling the expertise, experience, programs and resources of a diverse group of 9 youth-oriented organizations.

Environmental Justice: To encourage youth to investigate city-wide environmental issues and to learn how to address large-scale problems.
Leadership and Civic Engagement: To promote respect, accountability, critical thinking, initiative and well grounded decision-making in order to work together to identify and address issues of public concern.
