Philadelphia, PA, August 17, 2024 - The JLW Project is a nonprofit organization aimed at eliminating the current dropout rates throughout Philadelphia schools, and other urban centers throughout the nation. Currently, over a fifth of Philadelphia high school students never graduate, and of those that do- more than seventy percent do not graduate from college. Both statistics point to the need for strong and strategic intervention.
Most importantly The JLW Project uses the proceeds from any Fundraising Events to save for our 2025 goal to fund the establishment of real estate dedicated to a stand-alone licensed public charter school focused on fine arts and trade skills. This school will serve as the hub for all things JLW Project related- male leadership training, youth tutoring, fashion coaching, and community outreach. When the first class of students graduates from the JLW Project as 8th graders, they will be primed for high school excellence, strongly prepared for high school success and graduation. The public is highly encouraged to visit jlwalkerproject.com or eventbrite.com for ticketing.
