APM is 1 of 6 Organizations Improving Their Neighborhood with Community Connectors
LISC Philadelphia’s Community Connectors Program and Institute trains residents who are employed by participating community-based organizations in North Philadelphia and West Philadelphia.
The Community Connectors Program and Institute is a part of LISC Philadelphia’s community development efforts to engage neighborhood residents. LISC, a national community development organization, has offices across the country. LISC Philadelphia provides funding and technical assistance to the program, which is made up of six community-based organizations:

The organizations identify potential Connectors from their volunteers. When a volunteer accepts the position, they are referred to the institute.
