🎉 Celebrating the people who make Northern such a special place to work!

Our recent All Staff Meeting brought team members together for a day of connection, collaboration, and fun. From scavenger hunt challenges to shared laughs and meaningful conversations, the day was a reminder that the strength of our work comes from the incredible people behind it.

When we invest in building relationships with one another, we strengthen our ability to support the children, youth, and families we serve every day. Thank you to our dedicated staff for bringing your energy, creativity, and commitment to Northern's mission.

✨ Staff Spotlight: Markee Moses ✨

The work that supports our mission extends far beyond our programs. Today, we're recognizing Markee Moses for the important role he plays in helping maintain a safe, welcoming, and well-functioning environment for everyone who comes through our doors.

From daily maintenance to special projects around campus, Markee's dedication helps ensure Northern remains a place where children, families, and staff can feel supported. Thank you, Markee, for all that you do!

Summer can be a wonderful opportunity for families to spend quality time together and create lasting memories.

Whether it's visiting your local library, exploring a neighborhood park, or participating in community events, small moments of connection can make a big impact.

Thank you to everyone who visited our table at Philly Pride 365 this past weekend!

We were honored to be part of such an uplifting event and appreciated the opportunity to connect with community members, share information about our programs, and celebrate together.

Thank you for making it a wonderful day!

In 1927, famed architect Horace Trumbauer contributed to renovations on Northern's campus, including Merrick Hall. Known for designing some of America's most iconic buildings, Trumbauer's work became part of Northern's long-standing history of serving children and families.
