Our Partners

True to our name, Caring People Alliance exists because of strong ties both within our organization and beyond. We frequently collaborate with community-based organizations, government entities, and private organizations on a host of initiatives. Support Caring People Alliance by becoming a partner today. Take a look at some of our existing partnerships.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Caring People Alliance offers Boys & Girls Clubs programming to all school-age youth that participate in your programs and centers. We offer world-class programs and activities that assure success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Pennsylvania Departments of Human Services and Education

The Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) (a collaborative effort between the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Education) is partnered with Caring People Alliance to focus on creating opportunities for Philadelphia's (Region 18) youngest citizens through our Early Learning Resource Centers (ELRC).

ELRCs are designed as integrated system of supports that help families access quality early education and child care programs and other critical services, such as child care subsidy. They combine the work of Keystone STARS and Child Care Works programs, creating a streamlined one-door approach that addresses all family needs and breaks down barriers to services. ELRCs ensure children learn and develop through services such as Head Start, Pre-K Counts, home visitation and Early Intervention; parents are able to afford to go to work; and child care professionals can obtain coaching to bolster quality outcomes.

Caring People Alliance is a community partner with the School District of Philadelphia's Pre-K Counts and Head Start programs for low-income and at-risk families. The District and Caring People Alliance work together to ensure that our children receive high quality programs at our Keystone STAR 4 Early Learning Centers in the West Philadelphia Boys & Girls Club and at the R.W. Brown Boys & Girls Club in North Philadelphia. The programs are state funded and free to eligible families.

They are designed for all youth, particularly those who need to be diverted from or have current or previous involvement in the child welfare system.

The Mayor's Office of Education

Caring People Alliance partners with the Mayor's Office of Education to provide quality Pre-K programs under the City's new PHL Pre-K program funded through the sugary beverage tax.
