SEEKHO was founded on the premise that local people could be recruited to help solve local challenges, which we found was true.

Project Potential

Because many people expressed a desire to improve educational outcomes, we focused on building a culture of education and learning by offering age-specific programs. However, as we saw many of our hardworking and talented students fall through the cracks, we realized that the challenges that villages face are interconnected, and therefore, you cannot improve education without also improving economic conditions or health. Our local staff recognized this point and as a result, began mobilizing community members and using existing resources and institutions to improve economic conditions, living standards, and health. Recognizing these two points led us to found Project Potential, where we select, train, and support local Village Visionaries to use existing resources to connect existing resources to achieve community goals.

Philadelphia's population has been on the rise in recent years — thanks, in part, to new immigrants — and one Philadelphia neighborhood is hoping to capitalize on this influx of newcomers by giving their businesses a boost.

Hub to encourage immigrants, trigger innovation opens its doors in Mt. Airy

On Thursday evening, a group of nonprofits will launch the "Philadelphia Immigrant Innovation Hub" on the site of a former post office on Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy.

Meet the Disruptor: Ariell Johnson of Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse. Ariell Johnson, owner of month-old Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse in Kensington, once feared comic book shops. Growing up in Baltimore, Johnson was a fangirl of TV cartoons He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats and X-Men. As a kid, she always wanted to know the backstory for the X-Men’s “Storm,” the first black female superhero she encountered, the character who, she says, “opened my mind to the possibilities of anything is possible.”

Here and there, she’d borrow a friend’s comic. Project Potential. What We Do. Inspire offers management and strategy consulting services to nonprofit organizations and schools.
