SHIFT and Voyage Investments, a Latino-owned real estate firm with Kensington roots are repurposing 3360 Frankford as the new home of El Centro de Estudiantes Big Picture Philadelphia School, a non-traditional, alternative high school that provides educational and occupational pathways for Philly’s Opportunity Youth, aged 16-21, who have previously disengaged from high school because traditional models of education don’t work for them.
El Centro is creating a supportive and nurturing school environment for Philly’s youth with future plans to add a workforce development center for the community. El Centro provides space where students build the academic, social, and workplace competence to find high-quality employment they enjoy, to successfully engage in postsecondary learning opportunities, and to productively give back both locally and globally.
