Vital Statistics for Children in Philadelphia

Our children need the tools and resources to achieve and be healthy. In the FY 2025 Philadelphia must:

  1. Increase city funding for the School District by $100M.
  2. Expand the number of children PHLpreK serves by 250.
  3. Give children after-school enrichment options by preserving after-school services for 8,000 children served currently by the School District, investing $8.8M for youth programming at recreation centers, and continue $2M for Philly Youth Sports Fund that serves 5,000 more youth.
  4. Make neighborhoods safer by redirecting the $4M in cost savings associated with reduced juvenile justice spending to diversion programs.
