GET COUNTED
Filling out the #census2020
determines whether our communities get investment in social programs
and infrastructure improvements and also shapes political representation
through redistricting. Fill out your census before Sept 30, 2020.
FUN FACT: If just one person is missed in the 2020
Census count, Philadelphia could face the loss of $21,000 in federal
funding over the next ten years. If an undercount happens, the city’s
capacity to meet the needs of its residents will be seriously
impacted.
RAZOR RECYCLING PROGRAM
Participate in a TerraCycle challenge to build a new playground at a local military medical center with recycled razor waste!
See the poster for accepted waste and drop off your waste at our SOSNA office during these time slots: Friday, August 28, 8-9:30am
SOSNA's created
a folder for job resources to reference when looking for a new job,
career fair, training or other opportunities in the Philadelphia
area. We update the folder below weekly so check back often!
Where to Find Supervised, Connected Access Centers for Digital Learning
At
the start of this school year, most schools in Philadelphia will use a
digital learning model to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. For
many children, this will mean learning at home with caregiver
supervision or in a childcare center. However, some families do not have
those options because they work outside of the home and can’t afford or
access childcare support.
The
first phase of Access Centers will serve 800 students beginning
Tuesday, September 8. Additional centers will open on a rolling basis. Find access centers here.
