After School Partnership with
​Episcopal Community Services

We partnered with Episcopal Community Services to significantly expand our after-school programming beginning during the 2018-19 School Year. Working with after-school coordinators at four different sites across Philadelphia, a team of PYP teaching artists will guide students in grades K-8 through a year long program that leverages theater and playwriting exercises to support social-emotional learning skills.
