Network of Community Resources
At Philly ALC, the whole community is the classroom. Our students learn from practitioners—which means we're always looking for people with something to share.
Ways to Participate

Visiting Specialist
Visiting Specialist
Come once. Share what you do: a career, a craft, a passion, a perspective. No lesson plan required. Just show up and be yourself around curious young people.
Resource Person
Resource Person
Return over several sessions to develop something with interested students: a contained series, or an open-ended recurring presence. Past residencies have included sewing, clay, and soldering. We're open to anything.
Trip or Site Visit
Trip or Site Visit
Have an interesting space? Invite us in. Working studios, labs, farms, community organizations—if it's a place where real work happens, our students want to see it.
Organizational Partnership
Organizational Partnership
A community organization, small business, or nonprofit whose work touches self-directed learning or youth empowerment? We're interested in lasting relationships, and connecting families to your services, hosting workshops, or whatever makes sense.
Who We're Looking For
Who We're Looking For
We're especially eager to hear from people with experience in arts and making, science and nature, civic and community life, math and technology, trades and practical skills, and expressive and performing arts.
But if you don't see yourself on that list, reach out anyway! The best partnerships are often the ones we didn't anticipate.
