Our History

A Few SuccesStories...
The EARTHS was founded in 1994 at a time when neighborhood children were not learning the way teachers were teaching. Two sisters began voluntarily tutoring children two nights per week, two hours per night. In serving the children, a need to serve the families was identified. A partnership between The EARTHS and PARENT POWER (What Will You Do With Yours?), created parent-led, literacy workshops facilitated by two sisters and The PLAN (Parent Leaders Advisory Network).
The EARTHS, PARENT POWER and The PLAN have successfully brought
more than 2,500 families from various Philadelphia neighborhoods together to discover the joy of reading to their children, infusing math and completing art projects.
