Forwarded from REbecca Yenwine, founding director of a great program you have read about on CAN: Philadelphia's Kids on the Hill:

"I write to you with news of change. Kids on the Hill, like many other organizations, has been hit hard by the economic downturn. We operate on a lean budget and in a time that requires cutting back, we no longer feel we can operate the quality program that we have provided to young people for the past twelve years. Though this year we hoped to hire a new Director, to grow and carry on our important work, we don’t feel we can bring someone into such a tight financial situation.

Despite this transition, I remain extremely proud of our accomplishments. We have nurtured and changed many, many lives and created impactful art and media that has inspired adults and youth alike. We could not have done this work without incredibly dedicated staff people and supporters like you. We so appreciate your commitment to us and to our vision.

We are still in full operation through the summer but are taking the spring to honor the change process ahead. To this end, we are hosting a free and open event on May 28. This will be a time to show videos and photos of the past and present, to tell stories and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together. We hope you will come and help us celebrate, remember and say goodbye."
