Keepers are the young connectors, doers, and visionaries Philadelphia can’t afford to lose.
Because our sponsor shifted priorities, the Keepers program is on hold until next year. Please check back then.
In 2015, in response to a Pew study reporting a marked increase in Philadelphia’s millennial population, LEADERSHIP Philadelphia created the Connectors & Keepers program as an effort to recognize, empower, connect, and retain Philadelphia’s most promising young leaders.
Attend six sessions focused on issues impacting Philadelphia.
Work with mentors from the LEADERSHIP Philadelphia alumni network.
Connect with a diverse group of fellow leaders.
The Program includes sessions on Leadership, Creative Place-making, Education, Homelessness, Team-building, Connecting, Improv, Storytelling, Mural Arts and Legacy.
Keepers are young leaders Philadelphia cannot afford to lose. They are hubs of trust who get things done behind the scenes for the common good, without expecting to receive credit.
Candidates come to our attention through a variety of channels. We aim to assemble a diverse and vibrant cohort of young leaders each year. Admission is by invitation only.
