Movemakers outreach program
MoveMakers Philly is our affiliated youth program. MoveMakers Philly and UMA are financially tied- so supporting one organization supports the other. Dope! MoveMakers Philly is launching their 2022/2023 fundraising campaign to help underserved youth attend MoveMakers programming. Check it out below!

Help underserved youth attend MoveMakers Philly!It has been a year running for our I Am The Move program. Last summer we provided summer camp scholarships to 25 families living in Philadelphia neighborhoods. In the winter of 2022 we became a Philadelphia School District Strategic Partner, which has resulted in residencies at 3 different Philadelphia Schools in which we serve a total of 140 kids weekly. And we are currently on route to add a 4th before the year ends. The funds raised in our winter campaign have powered us to provide MoveMakers Philly programming weekly to nearly the same amount of children that attend our HQ weekly on a paid membership basis. The children that we are serving via our Strategic Partnership with the Philadelphia School District live in neighborhoods that are under resourced. In a relatively short period of time, MoveMakers Philly and Urban Movement Arts have made significant strides in our mission to support underserved communities. Our year of success is a result of your participation in our fundraising campaigns. We do not plan to stop anytime soon, so we invite you to stay involved in our upcoming projects.
Raise us to $10,000 for Summer/Fall 2022
Summer Camp Scholarship: This summer we are aiming for 40 scholarship studentsFunds will support:
Continued Summer Partnership with Philadelphia School DistrictMany of the schools that we are currently working with provide summer school and other programs while school is off. Funds raised will support us in continuing to send staff to Philadelphia public schools during summer break.
Funds raised during this campaign will also contribute to our effort to continue the work that we started with the School District in Winter 2022. At the very least, we want to start the Fall returning to the 4 schools that we established relationships with in the 2021/2022 school year. Of course, if we exceed our goal, we will add to our weekly roster. The primary goal is to sustain our mission and work to provide services to Philadelphia schools in underserved neighborhoods.
Donate to I AM The Move this Spring and power MoveMaker Philly and Urban Movement Arts to continue to expand our reach to more children in Philadelphia and to continue our work with the School District.
I Am The Move is supported by Archedream For Humankind, our 501(c)3, tax exempt, fiscal sponsor. This partnership allows all donations made to I Am The Move to be tax-deductible.
