COLLABORATION IS KEY TO TACKLING TODAY’S BIGGEST ISSUES.

To create a Greater Philadelphia region where access to opportunity is abundant and equitable, we must work together.

Despite efforts and interest, poverty rates in Philadelphia remain stubborn to budge. To build a better, stronger future for all people, families, and communities it takes new ideas. It takes new approaches. And it takes us all.

At the OpportUNITY Summit, learn how other leaders across sectors are working in partnership to create positive, lasting change.

Discover what worked and what could have potentially derailed progress. Hear about the commitment and perseverance crucial for successful collaboration.  

The day will include inspirational speakers and spotlight work happening locally and right now in American cities where racial equity, social justice, economic opportunity, and upward mobility can be achieved through transformational public-private partnerships.
