Summer Search Philadelphia

Summer Search Philadelphia We help students from low-income backgrounds transform what they believe is possible for themselves in order to become college-educated leaders.

Since 1990 we have partnered with high schools, community-based organizations, and families to provide mentoring and experiential opportunities, and expand college support services for students from low-income backgrounds. Our mission is to transform what young people believe is possible for themselves by supporting them to earn a bachelor’s degree and to become socially responsible leaders. Our i

ntegrated approach includes mentoring provided by (full-time) staff, transformative summer experiences, and start-to-finish college advising and support. Our long-term investment (7-9 years) successfully supports our students in changing the nation’s college completion narrative. 96% are students of color; 92% are first in their families to attend college; 71% earn a bachelor’s degree within six years of graduating high school, compared to just 21% of their low-income peers nationally.

Huge shoutout to Krista Finegan, Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley and Arielle Washington at Morgan Stanley: your Financial Literacy and Budgeting workshop for our Summer Searchers this Wednesday was incredible! Our students gained practical tools that will allow them to make informed lifelong financial decisions. Special thanks for career advice and connections, inspiring future wealth advisors.
