Need in Deed transforms teaching and learning in Philadelphia’s public school classrooms grades 3-8. Our unique approach starts with individual educators, invites students to advocate for change, and connects the classroom with the community.
In all that we do, we are guided by a vision for equitable public education that honors every child’s right to a high-quality education, acknowledges every child’s potential, dismantles racist and oppressive systems, prioritizes social-emotional well-being, and puts students at the center of the learning experience.
Connecting the classroom with the community is a powerful way to unlock students’ potential and engage them in learning.
By providing this transformative learning experience in their schools, with their teachers, Need in Deed helps young people find meaning and purpose in their education.
