About Our Organization
GROW Northeast's ESL program started as a church congregation wanting to serve the Albanians in Northeast Philadelphia with English classes in Mayfair in 2006.

Since then, the program has changed and flourished, and has become a multi-site nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization! Neighbors from about 30 different nations living throughout Northeast Philly are coming to learn English and get to know each other.

Making the program happen are over 100 amazing volunteer staff members...
