The young leaders in Project 440's Spring 2026 Doing Good cohort created six service projects to address needs in neighborhoods and communities throughout Philadelphia. Projects focused on reducing loneliness among Seniors through creative expression, conversation and music making (Golden Stories); providing starter care kits for households that are fostering pets (Paws for a Purpose); sustaining culinary traditions by sharing food and recipes from diverse cultures (Kitchen Archives); expanding access to clothing that is both resilient and stylish (Sturdy Style); improving transparency around school security (Tereti Tenageri - Speak Stories); and addressing food insecurity in West Philadelphia (West Philly Care Day). Thank you to the generous supporters of the Doing Good program, including @the_nelson_foundation , @philafound , @thepresserfdn , and the @philaculturalfund #creativelearnig #careerconnectedlearning #youthleadership #music #Phillymusicmonth #Tomcphilly #Theoriginalmusiccity
