KidZone PHILADELPHIA is a ten-year initiative to engage parents and residents to work together now to ensure the success of each future generation, beginning in Northwest Philadelphia. KidZone was founded on a simple idea – the best places to grow up are those where people support one another and invest in each other’s success. To capture this spirit, we chose a historic call to action that resonates with all of us: “Lift as you climb.” Our goal is to strengthen the way we PARENT, LEARN, WORK AND SERVE.

There is no harder job than raising happy, healthy, successful children. At KidZone, we know that a big parenting challenge is asking the right questions about your child’s emotional, social and academic progress. We want to make your job a little easier with up-to-date information about the resources and activities in the KidZone for your child. We also want to help you connect with other parents on your block and in the neighborhood.

KidZone works to...

• Support families with information, activities and workshops
• Engage adults to get involved
• Teach young people to use their power as change agents
• Mobilize businesses, schools, congregations and organizations to build on community strengths
• Energize programs to provide effective and respectful services to families
• Advocate for children, youth and families
