Our Team

Philly Thrive builds People Power

Our heart & soul is the Grays Ferry community most impacted by the refinery’s injustice. Members who join Philly Thrive work in teams called “action circles.” Staff support members to develop their leadership and our board governs the organization. That’s our squad!!
