Who We Are and What We Do 

On May 24, 2022, the boards of Philadelphia Futures and Steppingstone Scholars voted to merge, creating one of the most dynamic, expansive, and trusted educational nonprofits in the City of Philadelphia. This vote provides a path for the joint organization to significantly scale services for students, particularly Black, Latino/a, and first-generation students, and to create sustainable access to academic and workforce opportunities.

Upon the official merger, which is subject to required governmental approvals, the organization will rebrand as a new entity to be unveiled in Fall 2022. In the coming months, we are excited to make key additions to the team (informally called PFSS in the interim) that will support the vision for the new organization: “all Philadelphia students graduate high school with pathways to economic mobility through college and workforce success.”

Our Virtual Literacy program recruits volunteers to meet with students weekly to work on reading comprehension skills. Sometimes, our volunteers are unable to make these meetings and we need a substitute volunteer to jump in and work with the student.

If you are looking to volunteer, but do not have the time to consistently help, this is a perfect opportunity for you. We will add you to a list of substitute volunteer tutors to call on if we need you. Sessions can be 30 minutes to an hour.
