Awareness and Action
Poor school building conditions have detrimental effects on students, teachers, staff, and the community. Philadelphia's schools are plagued with environmental health threats like asbestos, mold, and lead in paint and drinking water. Our team of partners is uniquely equipped to inspect schools, access data, and make recommendations based on the input of all community stakeholders
