Through partnership, energy and a collective vision, Called to Serve CDC is prepared to work and engage with all groups and individuals who share our mission and common vision for Tioga and the Philadelphia region.LIST OF ACTIVITIES[A] "Read By 4th" is a Philadelphia citywide effort aimed at boosting the number of students entering 4th reading at grade level. In addition, Goal 1 of the School District of Philadelphia is the percentage of students in grades 3-8 who are proficient on the state ELA assessment will grow from 34.0% in August 2023 to 65.0% by August 2030. In support of these efforts, CTS has partnered with the Philadelphia Literacy Initiative, a high-intensity reading intervention and enrichment support for kindergarten through grade three scholars. CTS is a sponsor of the program at Kenderton. [B] The CTS BriDDge (Bridging the Digital Divide) program leverages Esports to develop social-emotional learning skills among school-age children. The program seeks to help youth build goal-setting, foster intentional self-regulation, and foster strong relationships between peers, coaches, and students. The program operates as an after-school program and summer camp. [C] CTS sponsors a quarterly awards luncheon celebrating academic achievement for students at Bethune Elementary [D] Through a contract with the City of Philadelphia's Philadelphia Taking Care of Business (PHL TCB) program, CTS's Workforce Development Program takes a double bottom-line approach to economic development in underserved communities.
