The Path to Success Starts Here

A Heights Philadelphia (formerly Philadelphia Futures) group shot.

Heights is committed to transforming the pathways to college and career for Philly students. That's why Heights has merged the resources of Philadelphia Futures and Steppingstone Scholars to become the most dynamic educational nonprofit in Philadelphia.

Together, we’re able to accomplish more for students: More holistic support from coordinators and advisors. More sustainable access to academic and workforce opportunities for all young people, especially Black, Latino, and first-generation-to-college students from low-income communities. And more advising relationships with students spanning from middle school into their professional careers.
