We are a proud member of the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, which provides a vital national network of human service organizations.
We are committed to economic independence for people in our programs, and are proud members of the EMPath Learning Network.
As a leading educator in the field of social work, ECS provides interns from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice with immersive, hands-on experience in the field. In return, we benefit from students and professors who are on the cutting edge of work in this area.
