LEARNING & ENGAGEMENT

Where Community
Comes First

We believe that access to quality education and individualized support can make a tremendous impact on developing youth. The Cobbs Creek Foundation is building a 30,000 square-foot on-site TGR Learning Lab to give teachers, students, and their families the support of a new and different learning environment.

Meredith Foote, Principal of Overbrook Educational Center, looks to the future enthusiastically:

“The possibilities for success at The Cobbs Creek Golf Course Education and Community Engagement Center are limitless. I cannot wait for our OEC community to be partners in the creation of the Center and active participants!”

After-School Tutoring

During the school year, CCF provides weekly no cost afterschool tutoring sessions for 1st – 3rd grade students at local partner schools. The Education Team works closely with local schools to co-create curriculum and identify areas of need. These sessions are led by our Education Team and student leaders from our out-of-area partner schools.

Community Days

In our efforts to authentically engage the local West Philadelphia community, we have been regularly sponsoring Community Days held at local schools for 1st-4th grade students. These events vary from month-to-month, but often entail fun activities such as face painting, yoga, moon bounces, ice cream trucks and more. The goal of these events are to give children a creative and playful weekend fun experience while supporting Philadelphia nonprofits. Engagement at this level has allowed our team to receive honest feedback regarding our project and educational programming, in addition to interfacing directly with the students and parents residing in our area.
