Serving Philadelphia.
Emergency Assistance
North Light extends a helping hand to those in crisis through the F.I.S.H. Community Food Cupboard, CUFF grant program which pays home utility bills, and volunteer "Santa Helpers" who make the holidays brighter for those in need.
Childcare Programs for School Aged Children
A full day summer camp and the KidZone after school program provide elementary school kids with fun, enrichment and learning and their parents with supervised care at prices they can afford.
Youth Development
North Light provides a safe and supportive environment with opportunities for personal growth through a variety of activities under the Youth Encouragement Program (YEP), Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) and the Student Environmental Development Program (SEDP) that enable our youth to develop the social skills, civic and cultural competencies, positive attitudes and a strong sense of community that will shape their future, and in many ways, the future of our community.
Job Counseling & Placement
GED preparation, job readiness training, placement and ongoing workshops help youth find and keep productive jobs in the community. Our job board is updated weekly, showing opportunities for adults.
School Aged Tutorial Program
Subsidized one-on-one tutoring is provided for children to help them succeed at school.
Scholarship Programs

Neighborhood Access to Technology (NAT) Project
