C70's very popular How Philly Works guides have been adapted into free classroom resources for Philadelphia teachers. The guide breaks down complex systems of Philadelphia's civic structure into easy-to-understand language that is crucial to empower residents to navigate the city’s systems to advocate for themselves and their communities effectively. Now, thanks to a partnership with PA Youth Vote, teachers can have six out-of-the-box lessons for use in the classroom.
