Can Philadelphia Become America's Next Mississippi Miracle?

Saturday, October 24 at 9:00 am – 2:00 pm Eastern Time

Philadelphia is at a crossroads.

With 17 public schools approved for closure—including several in and around Germantown—our city faces a defining moment. Will we continue managing decline, or will we chart a new path forward?

The F3 Forum brings together nationally recognized education leaders, parents, faith leaders, community organizations, philanthropists, and policymakers to explore one bold question:

Can Philadelphia become America's next Mississippi Miracle?

Mississippi transformed itself from one of the nation's lowest-performing states in literacy to one of its fastest-improving. What lessons can Philadelphia learn, and what will it take to create the same kind of success for our children?

Join us for a dynamic, solutions-focused conversation on literacy, educational opportunity, strong families, and the future of student success. Hear directly from leaders who helped shape the Mississippi Miracle, connect with local and national changemakers, and become part of a movement committed to changing the trajectory of Philadelphia's next generation.

The future of Philadelphia's children is too important to leave to politics alone. Let's build it together.
