This past Sunday, Net Impact Philadelphia co-hosted the 2026 Earth Day Organizational Fair with the Philadelphia Ethical Society and it was a great time! The room was full of organizations doing real work in Philly and beyond. The whole event was a celebration of Camp Linden, the Ethical Society’s property that has been connecting Philly kids with nature for 100 years this year. A centennial worth celebrating. We ran a Give/Get exercise with everyone in the room, where each group shared something they can offer and something they need. A simple format that we have used with our Board Fellows program, that has a lot of value. Oh, and we closed out the night with a boy band cover. N’(et Impact Philly) Sync coming soon? Thanks to everyone who came out. 🌿 Thank you to our organizations and also all volunteers!
