At our A Better Tomorrow launch, we had the honor of recognizing Congressman Dwight Evans () for his support of The LEON Act and his commitment to building a brighter future for the people of Philadelphia and beyond.

The LEON Act, which the Congressman has tirelessly championed, is part of our A Better Tomorrow agenda in action. The legislation seeks to fund zero-cost certification training through partnerships with local employers, providing pathways to economic mobility for people across the country.

Thank you, Congressman, for building with us.

What a day at STEMFest Philly! 🔬🙌🏽

Hundreds of students and families packed the Vare Recreation Center on July 30th for a day of hands-on activities, community, giveaways, and fun!

Kids K-12 built, experimented, and explored new STEM career possibilities. They asked big questions. And they met scientists, engineers, and innovators who look like them.

That's the key. When a young person sees themselves in a STEM career, a door to opportunity opens.

We're sending a huge thank you to our volunteers, exhibitors, and community partners who made this possible, and to every family who attended.

Philadelphia, we'll see you next year!🫶🏾

This week, we launched our A Better Tomorrow agenda in Philadelphia alongside a room filled with changemakers and advocates ready to build with us.

We were honored to have Mayor Cherelle L. Parker in attendance and our esteemed panelists Harold Epps (Harold T Epps), Anton Moore, Senator Vincent Hughes, and Blane Stoddart in a conversation that inspired us all.

Thank you to every partner, advocate, government official, business executive, and community leader who shared their support, including: Congressman Dwight Evans, City Commissioner Omar Sabir, and Sam Staten Jr.

This event marked an important starting point, not a finish line. As our CEO & President, Louis J King has said, the quest for A Better Tomorrow won't stop in Philadelphia...this is a national movement.

A Better Tomorrow is our plan to open the door to economic opportunity for forgotten people in forgotten places across the country.

Tomorrow is a BIG day.

Saturday, June 13th, our President & CEO Louis King II takes the stage to speak at TED Democracy Philadelphia: Founding Futures, a landmark event celebrating America's 250th Anniversary.

It's fitting that this pivotal moment takes place in Philadelphia.

The city where American democracy was born, and where OIC of America has been building pathways to opportunity for 60+ years.

At a historic moment when our nation is reflecting on its past and envisioning its future, Louis will carry forward Rev. Sullivan's enduring legacy: that every person deserves access to education, skills training, and meaningful employment.

From Philadelphia, where OIC was founded, to communities across the country, OIC continues to prove that opportunity changes lives.
